Shauna came out to help me finish a bit of fence up after supper-I told her to switch fencers but NOT to hook up the battery while I finished tidying up some connections about 50 feet away. About a minute later I got 5000 kilovolts-had my knee on one hot wire-my elbow on another and my steel hammer completeing the circuit. I can see why electric fence can be a deterrent lol.

Maybe you was right first time and that was a vulture sitting on the post and not an eagle :wink: :P :lol:
 
My niece is immune to most fencers, she will hold the wires and get me to twist them,,,,,,,,,,,,, well i only did tht once, with wet hands and in flipflops in wet grass, I was on the ground in a second, with her laughing and still holding on the wire!


NR the worst I ever got was we were pictureing Holstein cows for Altagen and i was washing a cow, put her in the tie stall and was doing up her chain,,, a metal chain,,,,,,,,,,, I leaned against the METAL stall, had very wet feet in running shoes, and while WET touched BOTH of my shoulder blades against the cow stall trainers, 5000volts went through every bit of me that day, no wonder why i am a bit jumpy nowadays
 
LoL My 11 year old nephew "accidentally" plugged the fencer in on his Dad this summer. Later (when Dad wasn't around) he was telling us about it, apparently he plugged it in twice with no reaction, third time was the charm!! He was laughing so hard telling the story he had tear's running! I can just imagine the suspense!!!!
 
One time my son thought he was tough enough to grab on to the hot and cold wire at the same time. He said he thought I punched him right between the shoulder blades when it hit him. It sure is funny when it's someone else.
 
Earlier this summer the marauding coons forced me to put 2 strands of electric wire around the sweet corn patch. Bottom strand was 4" off the ground and the top was 5" above that. The "coon fence" had the full benefit of the Parmak charger that I keep around for a spare. It has stopped a lot of cattle in its time.

Well I was fooling around with the tester wanting to make sure that the whole 200' of coon fence was not too big a load and that the coons were gonna get a good jolt if they tried it out. :wink:
I was curious as to why the tester would only read "HI" instead of giving me a number like 8.9 or whatever it should read when there's a good charge on the wire with no shorts.

I guess I slipped a bit and hit the bare wire with my hand. Wet ground and damp shoes on.

I found 2 things out in one instant - it said "HI" because it was "HI" and the coons around here all have a frizzy looking hairdo for good reason . . .
 
I had a Wire Gate open with just the Hot Wire there. I was moving Irrigation Pipes in to the field 2 at a time and just stepping over the wire. On one trip my dog was running with me. Dam dog ran MOUTH FIRST into the Hot Wire as I was 1/2 way over the hot wire - got him and me - first on the Inside of my Left Thigh - the on the Inside of my Right Thigh - as the Wire Vibrated Back and Forth ???? Times getting me I Dropped both pipes and they broke the wire but not before they completed the Circuit and got me one more time.

My Dog had left the country - found him 1/2 mile away, sitting in a Flower Box at the Coffee Shop. When I got him Home and called him out of the Truck he took one look and went back to the Coffee Shop - I had to chain him up for two day to keep him home.

Now I that all the Wire Gates Down...
 
True story. Back in the summer of 87 we were doing AI out in the pasture and had some single hot wire set up around out makeshift panel facilities. I had a girl friend helping me and in a moment of affection we engaged in a kiss with the hot wire between us. Just when our lips contacted the hot wire hit my thigh, oh what a kiss that was! Made my teeth ache. :shock: :D :D :D

We were trailing some cows down a county road and I had a 1/2 dozen jump into a pasture with electric fence I got off my horse layed the fence down stood on the post and walked the horse across. He steped on the wire and got zapped and knocked me off the post then the fence stood up under his belly and he went to spinning I got all wrapped up in the wire getting shocked the whole time. Then the flight mechanism of the horse kicked in wire wrapped up on the horse and myself I got drug a 100 ft or so but all ended well.
