[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1044373, member: 378"] Kathie, when I started out I had two fencers, both very hot, go by Joule rating. But I ended up going the opposite way I added more chargers, I now have four. The reason is when ever I had a short or down fence I had to walk or ride the whole fence line until I found it. For me it just made life easier to check four different sections of fence and far less fence to walk to find a short. As far a deer go they are pretty good about jumping over, pretty good not perfect, especially since their fawns are getting older and more out going. Wet side elk :mad: :mad: :mad: , we've had a pretty good size herd coming and going off our property the last week or so. Those SOB's could care less about jumping a fence, been fixing fence on a daily basis. They're making me mad, two nights ago the elk herd tore up three fences, hot wire all over the pastures, missing insulators and cattle all over the place and in the BLM land next door. :mad: Another reason I'm happy to have four chargers, after gathering cattle all morning I moved them to fresh pasture up by the house and will leave the lower stuff to the elk until they move on. Which they will, I've seen a 3 pt bull go through MY three strand barb like it wasn't there, until they do i'm not fixing those fences again. I'm sorry for the rant, you mention elk and they have been a real pita lately. [/QUOTE]
