The predators are lining up

Wow! Do you have electric fence or just netting? Netting might just be inadequate. For something like moose or bear you need multiple strands of twisted wire with lots of voltage and low impedance.

I do use only the netting as of now, and that's worked great to protect our beehives. But I'm seeing a lot of people recommending tape or poly rope, so I'm going to check into that asap. Thanks for the advice!

My brother used to use just electric wire to keep his horses in with no fence. The horses wouldn't get too close to the wire. I accidentally touched it and it made my heart ship several beats it actually went through my arm and the horse I touched felt it too and jumped back. My brother had just done some haying so I thought I'd give them some fresh hay.
