Scott, I have several fence chargers; both solar and 12 volt. I was watching a deer one day when it came to the fence. When the deer touched it, he lunged forward and tore down the wire. I had found broken wire pushed into my land on a couple of occasions and wondered what did it.

They evidently work better in your area than mine.

Travis, gotta agree about hogs being better than bears. However, the fecundity of hogs is going to only increase our problems and sooner or later, will become your problem. The interaction of the 2 species will be interesting. We might also get to see that interaction. Bears are moving back into Texas and are coming from the Arkansas area. It is illegal to molest them. One Game Warden I talked to said that almost no excuse will be acceptable if you shoot one.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
