Ask DS -> Electric fence around food plot

[Bercy]

We are planning to plant corn and install an electric fence around the plot to hopefully keep deer/hogs out of it.

Who has installed an electric fence for a food plot in the past? Has it worked? What brand? Any suggestions? Any helpful hints?

Thanks.

I understand that approach but it sure makes me laugh that you’re planting a food plot for deer (assuming) and having to install an electric fence to keep said deer out. The only bit of constructive input I have is to build it twice as tall as u think is needed and twice as tough.

i tried to find some examples, but came up short on my search. I've seen some farmers post pictures of fences they have put up in their fields to keep deer out. Most of them will put up two sets of wires. The outermost wire will be close to the ground, maybe a foot if that, and then about 5 feet inside the field will be another wire set about 3-4 feet off the ground.

They’ve worked well for us. We use the two layer setup.
