Default Squirrel meets tragic end

Found a gray squirrel next to my garden this morning. I have an ordinary electric fence around my garden to keep the deer out. Apparently a deer broke the wire sometime last night and this morning a poor squirrel got into the tangle of wire and met a sorry end. This is the first time I have found anything dead near the fence since I began using it five years ago when the local deer population began to explode. The electric wire is normally suspended as two strands four and five feet off the ground.
