Make sure that you check your state laws on open carry of rifles. Some states allow it, some restrict it (even on your own property), and some states will have weird laws regarding whether or not it can be loaded or if there can be a round in the chamber. If you have a confrontation involving firearms, I would strongly suggest bringing a second person and having them video-record everything, or getting a hat-cam. If things go poorly, video could save prison time.

I would shop around for a lower price and get the five-wire fence. We had our five-wire fence put up around 20 acres, close to 3,500 feet worth of fencing, for just at $3/foot. They built all corner posts with steel and all new materials throughout. Price did not include any cleaning/clearing of fencelines.

I believe out of sight, out of mind helps. I am planning on moving my entrance down the road a ways so I can plant a Bodarc hedge across the old one. They don't call it Hedge for nothing grin . Take some 'apples', put them in a 5 gallon bucket of water to stew for a month or 2, and pour in a shallow trench in the desired location. New 5 wire fence will be going in at the same time. Would rather pay a few bucks extra than regret it down the road.

So that's how you get a bois d'arc to start? I've tried planting them but didn't know that trick.

Prior to the use of barbed wire, hedge apple seeds were more pricey than gold on a per ounce basis.


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.

Forgot, after it is good and rotten use one of those paint stirrers that go on a drill and blend it up real good into a slurry. And don't get any on you, it stinks sick

Dang, I'll bet it does stink. I expect I'll try it.
