Even when the fences are hot AND THEY USUALLY ARE,deer still would get in.They still get in woven wire fences on a regular basis.Trees knock them down.Sometimes they never get all the deer out to begin with and they even jump over some.Regardless,the regeneration inside those electric fences is a stark contrast to what would regenerate had no fence been there.
