Red bull Breeder and Msscamp, ya'll need to try driving steeples in seasond bodark. You will quickly change your mind about the first two staples. Drilling would be a lot easier. After bending about 20 of them.

Didn't say it couldn't be done,in fact driving a steeple while it's still green is easy. I was meaning it's easier to drill than to try to staple 5 wires to a seasond bodark. Usally you have to beat on the steeple so much by the time ya got the last one in your arms are about to fall off,you've bent a bunch of steeples and you've beat on the post so much you've loosend it in the ground.
Thats always my experience anyhow. But ya'll might possibly know a trick I don't. :nod: :nod:
Besides all that I haven't used a wood post in years. Like BHB said they burn too easy.
Last fire I replaced 72 burnt ones with T-posts. Drive them in the ground with the tractor bucket and put a wire clip around them. Not too much arm work or mashed thumbs.
