Well , I still have that MOT sittin' here , and just thought of
another maybe . Last year the Hooved Rats of the Woods marauded in
my garden . This is unacceptable ... and I was just thinkin' ,
would it be reasonable to use it to charge a couple of wires to
keep the deer out of the garden ? I have seedlings here that I
started in January (70+ 'maters and peppers),

Jeezus, obsess much, Snag? 1 mater for the family and some neighbors,
a second to can, a third to feed the surrounding neighborhood, and a
4th to feed your half of the city. Ditto zucchini plants.


I'm also starting stuff for a neighbor , and we plan to preserve quite a
bit . So , it seems the consensus is ... don't .
I wondered if the MOT might be a lot more joules than is needed to
discourage the critters.

The trick is the fence is hit with short pulses with enough time
between pulses that you can get away from it without damage.
And you will get away from it!

Ever get hit by a "weed chopper"??? They don't "let" you get away!!
They are an AC discharge fencer while most are DC pulse. A weed
chopper (or Bull Dozer, or Cow Puncher - all were basically the same)
would keep the fence line clear by burning off intruding weeds and
saplings. Sometimes started grass and bush fires - and possibly even
burned down some sheds. If there was no "load" on the fence they just
gave a jolt. If the resistance to ground dropped, they locked on for
several seconds at a time.

NASTY damned things!!!!
