Three Foot Johnson Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 They've been zapped by other stretches of electric fence across the place, and quit broadjumping the cattleguard when I put the strap across it this spring, but UPS, FedEx, and some recreational users are skeered of getting shocked.

Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Apparently there are some that can read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Might make a little more sense if you could see there's actually a cattleguard there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 From that point down the mountain, it's a private road that I've granted a public easement to. From that point up, it's private, period. They need to contact me for recreational access permission to ride their horses, hike, hunt, etc. Oh, "the public" still drives all the way up "to see where the road goes", then turn around in front of my garage and drive back down. I'm thinking of putting a barbed wire fence up the right side of the road and a locked gate at the top so they can't turn around, then watch and see how well they can drive in reverse.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 That's Just Mean. But make sure you get it all on video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Jack Calder Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Someone will eventually back into the fence and push it over enough so that they can turn around. Then you will have to repair it at your expense or get in a court action to have them pay for repairs. It would be fun to see a video of them trying to back up a few miles.

Three Foot Johnson Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Not a big deal - on clear, level stretches, such as along the road, I've built half a mile of 4 wire fence in two days by myself, including pounding the steel posts, digging six postholes for corner posts & braces, and tamping them in. Of course, I was fifteen years younger then... Likely just have to put in a new post or two, pull the wires back together, splice 'em, and tie 'em back up.

The sign is on the other side where they can't read it till after they break out. Just gotta be careful when you're bringing the cows in on a trailer for the first time.
