I ran it for two weeks then turned it off. No more deer trouble for the rest of the season. Now each year I run it for the first two weeks and that's it. Did I say that there's five big old apple trees in the yard that litter the place with apples in the fall. They don't even come back for the apples! It scares the livin' shinola outta 'em!

P.S. When I'm near the fence while it's on, between the hum and little sparks at the insulators; it scares the livin' shinola outta me too.
great now all i need is to find someone to lend me their system cuz i just need it out there for a few days!
