Mike City slicker! It's called a fence stay. You twist it down over the wires to keep them separated and at the same distance apart. They make it a real bugger when you have to crawl between the wires.

Don,
That was a great story--it made my day! Those yipper dogs truly are "Wiley" critters!
Congrats to your friend, it's a really nice buck, for sure.
all learning is like a funnel:
however, contrary to popular thought, one begins with the the narrow end.
the more you progress, the more it expands into greater discovery--and the less of an audience you will have...

Texas Parks and wildlife used to set up Taxidermy deer along the roadside to catch poachers. They had to switch to archery targets as the deer mounts got shot up so quickly they were cost prohibitive. I think one case may have been over turned when the plaintiff argued that when they used Boone & Crockett sized racks on the fake deer it was a form of baiting. Not sure if that's true but if it is the judge must have been an old poacher too.

The maniac that owns the place east of me, I reckon.... He put it out to keep the prairie dogs in the pasture behind the silhouette from migrating north onto his place. And he claims it works.... He did get a chuckle when he heard I put a sneak on it.

Mike City slicker! I've built plenty of barbed wire fences back in the day. We never used any of that!! Of Course we weren't going as far probably so put the posts closer together. Mike
