[QUOTE="Browneye, post: 495997, member: 1051"] Yeah on a 3 wire sheep or cow fence I left the bottom wire dead. But on wet years the broom grass or taller grass will grow up to touch the lowest hot wire and eventually take your voltage down some. The charger will brown the grass up but on wet years the grass grows fast enought to out pace the charger. So yeah mowing under is a good idea. I also have taken a hand sprayer and sprayed about an 18" swath directly under the fence to help with that but that can also lead to other problems. Sometimes without competition from the grass in place of the browned up herbage the next year you can see weeds starting out that you never thought you had on the place. Good luck with Your project. You have a fair amount of fence you are talking about there. Would be nice if you had a small area the deer were getting in now to try the fence you are thinking of doing to experiment on a smaller area before you have all that money, labor tied up in and then you find it doesn't work as well as you liked.
