Ugh. I know exactly what you mean, Larry. I've had countless pairs of pants ruined by barbed wire. It's especially fun when you're walking through the woods in the pitch black at 5 a.m. with a 50 pound pack and you trip on barbed wire and faceplant in the mud.
Also, and I kid you not, my uncle's old friend from back in little league had his schlong ripped off by barbed wire. Yes. Schlong. Ripped. Off.
Regarding animals, almost anything in the U.S. is small enough to fit underneath. Birds can fly over. Deer can jump an 8 foot fence at a standing start. I think humans are actually the only thing deterred by barbed wire.
P.S.- WTF is that picture?
^lol , I just wonder why it's there, cattle's not grazing in the woods, as you said doesn't keep wild animals out, if humans know it's there and really wanted , they can get over or around, so what's the purpose?
^ oh, the picture is just a creature of the forest. :)
^^the lol was for your comment about the picture, not that you feel face down in the mud
errr, fell not feel
Voted : It seems wrong
Glad first off to hear that you're well!
And it would seem to me that, were there any vested interest to protect any property lines, signs would've been posted.
Voted : It seems wrong
The ones who did this seems kind of stupid. They can't claim they did not know anyone would be there when the wire is there to keep the people they know will be there out. They need to have signs or something.
Voted : They seem as dim as the forest
They could have just put up a wooden fence.
Voted : Other
Was it old barbed wire, or new?
There's barbed wire fences all over the place around where I live in the woods. But when it was first fenced, the area was farm land that was largely composed of grazing pasture. Over a hundred years later, the pastures have turned to dense forrest and the fences are still there.
If it was newer fencing, some people use it for property boundry lines. It's harder to take down than signs, harder to miss than signs because of it's continuous line, doesn't wear off like paint on trees, and cheaper than other types of fencing while still letting wildlife pass through.
Sure, it's not going to keep anyone out. But there's an unwritten rule in rural areas... "if it's fenced and it doesn't belong to you, you don't belong behind it unless you've got permission."
