[QUOTE="db-2, post: 309213, member: 4743"] lbrandt: A bigger issue for me is the neighbor's cattle. About two months ago about 160 feeders came from Canada and it did not take them long to level the two food plots i had there. Then every year a closer neighbor's cattle come up a hand full of times to eat in feeder. Coons, if i use the feeder in the picture they cannot eat from it so now to get serious with the coons instead of trapping like i have done i plan to order a few more of those feeders. Electric fence, for the cattle and elk which appear to be larger than the cattle you mention string it high (how high). Wife has told me a number of times to get an electric fence up there. So how does that affect the whitetail deer? Not aware of the poly tape wire so will need to check out. Probably need about 3-400 yards and i thought to use a battery but need to check out solar source. Growing up i do know that livestock learn quick about electric fence (so did we as kids). Anyways thanks, will need to pursue this next year and maybe for me that will work on elk as there will not be any hunting on the land next to me were the elk live. Just not going to happen even if i wanted it to happen. Did check camera this afternoon and 4 spike elk came up early morning during dark. Appears spikes do not travel with those with racks? no/yes Again thanks but by next year the CWD may change all of this. db [/QUOTE]
