That's why I was wondering.................if the deer get a shock once
they get inside the fence, would they associate the orchard with pain?
Jim, I don't know - Most of the stuff I've seen about a two-fence
system for deer exclusion used a low fence just outside of the higher
main fence, but there's nothing wrong with giving it a try inside.
A single-strand of electric wire is pretty inexpensive to put up and
easy to maintain. A good energizer would be the most expensive part
of the whole system - but you might be able to find a small,
powerful, used unit on eBay.
