I'm not sure why so many producers take their line down each year. Two points, the deer will not generally chew of run into the lines, they go under or over them. Often they will actually follow then a ways which for hunting makes it a good hunting tactic. The other point, if you go in to get firewood, just loosen the line in one or 2 places, raise it and drive under. My sugarhouse woods are set up so I both use the tubing to help channel the deer and I can get to all areas to cut wood as needed. In my lease, the landowner hunts it and has shot deer very often, following a line towards his tree stand. He also heats his home with wood and I raise a main where ever he wants to drive thru. I can raise a mainline just by loosening a few side ties each side from where he wants to drive thru, then lift the mainline and wire to give him 9' or more clearance. I've had no issues.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
