hrrrm...given that details are given as to how to setup a fence (grounding, baiting, etc), it seems (at least from my perspective) irresponsible at best to discuss charging the fence at 110v, and not even mention the safe, effective, and legal ways to charge a fence. you might as well also recommend charging barbed wire to really get the job done :(
folks, there are good and effective fence chargers that use pulses of dc current that will do the job just fine. they can run off of line current, battery (mine stay charged about a month with cheap tractor battieries), or even solar/battery combo.
the off chance that a person, child, pet, or other wildlife could get tangled and zapped with ac line current (not such an off chance if you are baiting with bacon) should keep you from doing this under any circumstances.
