[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 1018269, member: 1863"] Your fencing style is very similar to mine. We must have learned from the same person :cowboy: My Dad taught me. As a teen he used to fence for a living. He and his work partner ran 5 strands of barb around 5,000 acres of some of the roughest hill country in Tennessee. He and his partner had an old Willys jeep pulling an old army wagon to carry their wire, posts, chain saws and camping gear. When the ground got real steep and rough they used mules. His employer (the land owner) was adamant about it being done right and straight. That was back in the 50's and parts of that fence is still standing strong. Of course these days the 5,000 acres has been split up between Champion Paper and smaller farms and hunting leases. I ran about 3,000 ft of fence through some very dense woods. I used a chainsaw and a track loader to clear it out. Drove the t-posts in with the loader bucket. Where you used railroad ties I used big telephone pole butt ends. They should be there forever. All of my cross-fencing is electric or woven wire. [/QUOTE]
