Hey, that sounds pretty good, Randall! You can get a D-cell charger for an electric fence for about $80. After painting the pole with a clear polymer as a dielectric, the bare wire can be wrapped around the pole. The Kencove Strip Grazer below can put out about .35 Joule and be mounted to a ground rod with a single insulated conductor buried in the grass.

I like it!

This is getting interesting guys. Count my vote for charging up the wee culprits batteries should they return.
