Just got on a lease and I'm thinking of setting up a pen. Thinking about doing a barb wire fence instead of hog panel due to deer being familiar with barb wire fences and not hog panels. It's late in the season to do hog panels.

In helping a friend on my lease, we used barbed wire on live oak trees and stretched wire from one to the next, using a come-along and wire stretchers. We used t-posts as needed. The pen is about 40 yards across in both directions and it is pretty darned tight. It pis*ed the cows off somethin' fierce.
