Actually, if you connect the hot wire of the charger to the fence, and the
ground lead of the charger directly to the chicken wire (and to a ground rod
as well), soil conductivity isn't critical, and you get the maximum zap per
volt of charger output. Bond the chicken wire together well wherever you have
to make a joint.

In any event, if you do put up a fence now, you want to make sure you
apply the maximum zap to the bear when it does return. I suggest you put
up the fence and place chicken wire on the ground just outside the fence.
Make sure to ground the chicken wire well; if it is placed just on dry
sandy soil you may not have enough grounding.
