Kansas is full of hundred+ yr old fences hung from Osage posts. Holy crap they are heavy and hard, heavier when fresh and harder when cured. First experience with them cost me lunch. Guy who let me hunt bet me lunch at his wife's diner that I couldn't drive a 1-1/2" staple into them. All full of myself cause I work construction I said hell yeah im hungry and proceeded to flatten about 20 staple without getting a single one to sink in. After a trip to town and lunch he pulled out a bag of 3/4" staples for the afternoon's work of pounding them in.
He found that funny
