Lauri, 
If he is going to remain intact, then some type of good fencing is a 
must.  Have you considered a good size dog run for Herc to exercise 
and run in, with shelter from the elements?  Then when you are 
outside with him, he can be on lead and with you.  An intact dog is 
going to roam, period!

Am I harping, YES! <vbg>  I am involved with pyr rescue and everyday 
I see what happens with pyrs who are allowed to roam. The minute your 
back is turned Herc will take off and these pyrs don't know what 
coming when called means. If they do, they just might decide, they 
will get back to you later <g>.
