Maintain the Fence and Observe Deer Behavior

What happens here

After the fence is installed and energized, regularly monitor its condition. Check for any breaks in the wire, sections that might be sagging, or vegetation that has grown to touch the wires, as these can reduce the fence's effectiveness by grounding out the charge. The presenter highlights that the fence has successfully kept deer out of his orchard for a full season. He also notes that deer develop a learned avoidance; even when the electricity is off for extended periods (e.g., two months), they still avoid the fenced area, suggesting a lasting psychological deterrent.

Goal: Ensure long-term effectiveness and observe deer deterrence
