Jennifer - Is there any rule or law that states you can't have 2 "hot" wires? One at 2', one at 4'? I think, if I remember correctly, the deer there in TX are the little whitetails and red deer and not the bigger mule deer we have here, so I can't see why that wouldn't work. Or, as my father called them while I was growin' up, hor de'vours or little puppies (He used to hunt mule deer from like '75 to '94.. biggest buck he brought home dressed out at almost 200lbs.).
