I have transmission lines across my land and there are several considerations.

Good deer hunting spot is one. On the flip side of that, they came in a couple of years ago and replaced a lot of the poles during deer season.

I am currently trying to sell one place and an investor told me that it would kill a deal. He wouldn't touch it. Heck, it doesn't bother me.

In a Ranch Management class, a wire rep showed up to talk to us about fencing. The part that I have retained is him saying to never run a barbed wire fence closely parallel to an electrical transmission line. You might light up like one of Kens bulbs.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
