There is a better video of this type of fencing, but I can't find it.
The spatial configuration is pretty obvious however and that's the key.





You're right. From personal experiences of friends of mine they do work, and we have looked into them. But, when you start considering putting them on large acreages it gets pretty expensive ..............and bothersome. What they don't tell you is that when it doesn't work for one deer, and they run through it, they drag and scatter the wire all over the place. I tried it on a 12 acre field, which is really small, and it was a disaster. For some reason unbeknownst to me, it works on small food plots but not on big fields.

Trust me, there is no easy answer to the deer problem here, right now. Except CWD, and that doesn't seem to exist in the Deep South.
