I'm a city boy! Rusty barbed wire doesn't sound like something I want to get snagged on. Plus, I suspect "squeezing through" depends on how loose the wire is, how far apart the strands are and how big a body one is trying to get to the other side.

The saddle blanket on the top wire sounds like a better plan assuming the posts can take the load. Wonder where Joe can get one. I have one, came with the barn. LOTS of odds and ends came with the barn. But the only barb wire fencing I've found is so old it is already down pretty much everywhere I've seen it. Just remnants on trees and such.

Here's MY take on the 10 acres to wander thru --

I could do the barbed wire, cross the creek ... no problem! BUT I am NOT going to venture into snake territory!!!!!!

If you haven't seen it thus far, it can sure wait until you TX guys get your "two weeks" of winter

 

[goatgurl]

ya know if you are going to replace the fence any way just cut the barbed wire and walk thru that way you don't have to worry about harming any anatomical parts and awww come on @Mini Horses whats a snake or two between friends. kind of like Russian roulette, never know what kind is going to rear its ugly head. gives one pause to reflect, i'd probably pass on the snake hunt myself until at least the first week of winter. by the second week they are starting to wake up and wander around again.

I'd wear high boots and check it out

Snakes have never deterred me, just watch your step!

You need to go in there and figure out where the deer stand is going.

@OneFineAcre, you are such a practical man!

Good point OFA! Joe has a lot to do.

You need to go in there and figure out where the deer stand is going.

He can put it at the back of his pasture in front of the creek, deer play there and he wouldn't have to swim the creek, fight alligators, club snakes, shoot rabid raccoons, crawl through that terrible barbed wire and snag his pants(thus exposing himself because he says he goes "commando") and scaring off all the deer.

True enough... I'll get my license then just wait for them to come out in the pasture/field. Easy pickins'
