Speaking of DKAZ a fun nature moment here as I went outside to roll out the cables to my array (I roll them up for Tuesday mowing) and startled a white tailed deer that simply turned and hopped over the bottom wire of one DKAZ and ran away into the brush. This is why my bottom wires are two feet off the ground :). 73 KAZ
