Place some strips of bacon on the hot wire , the yote or any other critter that grabs it will get a jolt they will not soon forget, they will not touch your fence again.I live in the boondocks and have lots of predators (coons, skunks, possums). I saw a coyote last week in the pasture and last night at 6 pm saw him standing right outside my fenced-in chicken yard trying to figure out how to get in. YIKES! I have a 5' fence and it is electric but I am afraid to let them out today! Have this nice yard for them to get out in and enjoy but....Can coyotes jump a 5' fence? It has electric wire ran on the outside of the fence about 4' high and then some around the gate near the ground. This is the first time I saw a coyote, I usually just hear them. Plus, he was right at the fence in MY yard! I ran out of the house screaming at him and he ran off. I didn't have time to get the gun.
My neighbor, to protect his flock from air predators, has a pole in the center of his fenced in yard. Then from that, he strings wire to the fence, kind of like a umbrella without the fabric. The wire spaced so they can't fly in, their wings would hit the wires. It works great for him. I haven't had a problem with air predators, just ground ones. And now this coyote!Coyotes are capable of just about anything......I have had them get over a near 5 foot woven fence,then climb a 6 +foot woven corral fence to get on top of a lower roofed shed,then jump down into the corral with the confined sheep as to avoid the livestock guard dogs patrolling the yard....
Also when coyotes or any wild animal makes approach when you are visible,one must be concerned about rabies.

I love the idea in the previous post by zazouse of using baited hotwires & plan to try it,possibly that might work for predators by air also !
