[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 314321, member: 4362"] Georgia used to require you to have a posted sign every 300 feet. This worked out good for the poachers and such. Now I'm told you don't have to have signs since this was next to impossible to do on larger acreages. I try to mark all our lines with either paint, fence, firelines or something. But by far the best marker is a fence, even one strand - it will be there for years. A big problem that we have is the undergrowth. In recent years, people have quit using crackers and such to graze the woods and have quit burning the woods off. With the absence of these two, the woods can grow up in just a few months to the point that you got to cut your way down the line and in some places you can't see more than ten feet in front of you. Here is a picture of a line I cut out last week. This was relatively easy since it had an old fence to go by. This farm has been worked by our family for four generations and we have never had a problem until a city man got the deed to the neighboring property. He has started a war on all fronts and may wind up in a ditch one day. My plan is to refence the farm and get cattle back on it. I tunneled my way down the line and when I fence it, gonna probably put some cattle with some ear in there and let them earn their keep by doing to maintence work for me. They seem to be pretty good at it and seem to enjoy their work. [img]http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m114/jogeephus/line.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
