I have been racking my brain on how to get these dang coons off of my feeders. I have tried everything grease, shark teeth, you name it I've tried it. Well I finally figured it out. I put 3 strands of hot wire around my pen. my pen is 24" goat wire with a strand of horse wire above that about 6". I bought 2" insulators to put on the t post. I ran 3 insulators on each tpost. The first one is about 5" off the ground and then about 5" in between insulators. I bought a 10 mile solar unit. Let me tell you when they touch it it will light them up. At the opposite corner of the pen opposite of the controller it is putting out 7000 volts according to the meter I bought. The wire is close enough to the pen that the deer don't touch it. I actually have more deer in the pen now than I did without the hot wire. I had 15+ coons on my protein feeder every night running my deer off. Not anymore coons not anymore!

LOL....I told the guy at Tractor Supply that I wanted their hair to catch fire if they touched it. LOLOriginally posted by Bryan2014 View PostComment

We tried. We switched the cameras to video, but we did not run it long enough. We would see them walking up to it then the next video they are running for the hills. LOL
