If you've ever wondered.....
« on: December 24, 2012, 09:04:00 AM »
If you're ever out stump shooting, and just happen to be strolling past an electric fence with a carbon arrow in your hand- DON'T casually reach out and touch the fence with said arrow unless you want your shooting buddy  (son in my case) to still laugh about it for several years afterward..... He reminded me about  it yesterday. It WAS funny for him I guess!
 
Merry Christmas to a great bunch of folks!!!!!

Reminds me of a time while out walking a field with my grandpa looking for a tractor he was thinking of buying, went to step over a wire fence that I did not know had an electric wire for the top. Let me tell you a 14 year old will jump pretty high when his family jewels take a jolt from one of those. My grandpa laughed for three hours,LOL.

Danny,
 That's funny and please don't try and water the electric fence like my Big brothers once told me to try when I had to relieve myself as a kid..I had an outer body experience and never forgot the tingle that resulted from what felt like eternity...   :scared:


P.S. If you have Big brothers don't ever believe them when they tell ya to try something or hold this while they try to start something!

Oh my gosh Keefer, my sides hurt I laughed so hard.  My brother and I were frogging with our bows about 30 years ago and he thought it would be cool to let the frog sizzle on the fence, attached to the aluminum arrow of course.  That farmer must have set that fence for bulls cause it knocked my brother flat on his butt!!  I about peed myself I laughed so hard! So David,it will take a lifetime to live that down    :laughing:    :laughing:

Hey, reminds me of my crossing an electric fence when pheasant hunting. I was holding the fence down with the butt of my shotgun as I straddled it the wire slipped from under the gun and I think you fellers can appreciate the rest of the story.
