We had a big old cow, when I was a kid on the farm, that would ease up to the
electric fence with her nose, smell it, then back off about ten yards and
charge the fence like a freight train. Right on throught it. BTW, the
whizzin' on the electic fence thing is not a myth. When we were kids, my buddy
and I talked his little brother into whizzin' on the electric fence. Paid for
that for months, too. His old man was a mite upset with us.

James,
Are you sure it's going to work on a grizzly. Many years ago I
worked in a habitat-type zoo that used a lot of "hotwires" for bears,
elk, deer and bison. In my experience the hot wire is simply a
suggestion to stay in the confines of their habitat. If they really
wanted out it didn't slow them a nano-second.
