HAHAHAHA!
A little exaggerated. But funny.
I never ever grab a bare wire without testing it first on the back of my hand. It's just how you do.
And nothing that guy went through, don't care how good the charger, stands anywhere in the shade of a bull prod. That's a rodeo thing... Cowboys all sitting on top of the chute fences... and someone walking by with a bull prod... it happens.
Funniest electric fence tale I have ... We had a weed burner line set up on top of all our permanent fence, which delivered a hot wire all the way around our property... And from that hot wire, we charged a variety of cross fences, as these things go...
Well at the time, I had the fence along the front of the property tore out, fixin to build new permanent fence, made of cattle panel and wooden posts with half-round rails... And while the lion's share of the place was still inside a permanent perimeter fence by way of the corrals and paddocks around the barn, there was a chunk from the barn across the front of the shop, and kinda around the corner, where I had hung a 2 strand T-Bar and electric temporary fence just in case somebody were to leave a gate open. The easy thing to do was to power than line from the permanent wire that ran right to it.
Now, I said all that to tell you this:
The electric fence wasn't working elsewhere... Probably a cross fence somewhere... I don't remember the particulars, but I had the main charger shut off so I could work on whatever it was. Anyhow... it was fixed... And I head back to the garage to plug the charger back in.
Unbeknownst to me two Labrador retrievers were approaching the property from the road side. One was a female, obviously in heat, and she chose to stop and stand for the male.
And here lies the point of fate... The very point of total darkness versus the light's divine divide...
I watched her stop to stand under the lower wire of that two-strand fence... And I watched him mount her... And there they go, doing their business...
And there I am, in the garage, looking out the window, with the plug in my hand...
What would YOU do?
