Well my woods are 1 less bandit using the trails that the chicken robber used that night

Aluminum wire test beside charger 2 lights test 2 feet over right past first insulator 1 light

That's what I thought but I'm only getting 1000 by the lights

https://m.lowes.com/pd/Fi-Shock-Electric-Fence-Electric-Fence-Tester/4651617 This the type tester I have. https://m.lowes.com/pd/Fi-Shock-10-Mile-AC-Hardwired-Electric-Fence-Charger/4746711 This is the charger I have

Ac. Unit Get 5 lights on it that way that's what doesn't make sense to me as soon as wires are hooked 2 lights. Would seem to be grounded out but have continued to check and reckeck the the lines nothing touching anywhere. Thought tester might not work right so been thinking of just grabbing it...

I might try that also trying to get my area cleared off so I can shoot from back porch again. I have ran red lights in the barn so can see in the pen and that's how I have gotten 3 of the 12 coons after they started showing up. Fixed how they were getting. Then they showed up again and took one...

I have tested it only getting 2 lights on tester ( can't stand the new testers ) the light shows 1,000 under it so guessing that's what its getting. Tried running a battery and converter as well and weedeated the line again checked all lines. Seems nothing touching still waiting till dusk so I...

Length from house is 225ft using extension cords. Ground rod is a 8 ft ground rod put 6ft in the ground. Carger is a 10 mile . 5 joule fi- shock charger. Used them before with no issues at the other house but they were only 50 ft or closer to the house instead of 225ft. Nothing has tried to get...

Found remains once it crossed second fence it no longer cared I was after it. Bones feet wings no head or insides. The only thing that really sucks is this was my daughter's roo and everything seems to take her birds first

Due to my kids, dog and cats I have tried to stay away from the spring and body traps. Going to reset my camera and see what I find now cause it is crossing 2 fences to get out of my yard carrying the bird. If I find it's a different predator the spring traps will be next or snares or a...

I might check it out again but was talking to my dad and he said sounds like it's not a coon maybe a yote or fox cause this is number 6 in a year and only 1 could I find any remains. But what ever it is isn't big enough to keep them off the ground. It passed by eggs and feed along with 6 other...

I thought of that as well but it's doing the same as my other charger did when I hooked it up and thought it was bad. I think the fence might be popping enough to keep coons out but not what it should be. Last night put all the birds back in the coop with the ducks and my other ones that have...

Problem with fence is lack of power when wires hooked to charger. I have used electric fences before so I have checked for anything touching it. But once the hot wires are attached it has no juice. I think the issue is the length of distance from the house so it's not getting the power it needs...

Fed up with predators

I moved to a new place around a year ago and have been having major coon problems here. This week alone have lost 4 birds the fourth was tonight while I was out back on the porch. The birds have been roosting in a screened in part of my porch since one of my birds was taken ( guess they felt...
