I did every other strand hot starting with the bottom. They did get out the first summer when the ground was so dry the fence was down around 2-3,000 volts but since the does had their first kids and the buck got so big he'd really have to squeeze through, plus he got calmer(adult instead of teenager), they've stayed inside. Even when they got out, they stayed in view. I've got three 8 foot ground rods all the way in but evidently the soil gets dry that far down in mid summer. Down at the low spot of the property it tends to stay moist but I haven't been able to drive a rod in there due to rocks/boulders. I plan on running our grey water drain to where the ground rods are to see if that helps.
I went with high tensile because the post spacing can be so big and we have rocky soil on most of the property. Some of my corner posts took a full day each and there was no way to get equipment to the back corners unless I wanted to cut down a hundred more trees. Most of the fence line goes through forest. Got almost two year's worth of firewood from cutting the fence line just wide enough for my sub-compact tractor which is about 42 inches wide. Made a 42 inch wide trailer for it for hauling wood up.
I used fiberglass sucker rod for the line posts that were not in a dip and used t-posts in the dips.
