    Naaaa, we're a bit more civilized down this way. In my travels, I have seen coyotes hanging from fences. I was told it's to warn other coyotes not to enter the property or the same would happen to them! I swear, the guy who told me that told me with a straight face. I "think" he was serious!

    Not sure what good a fish carcass would do though.


    I will admit, we do something similar down this way ... but it ain't quite the same.

    I’ve seen a lot of woodchucks on fences or fence posts but not fish.

    We do have this building though.

    I’ve seen snakes hung over barbed wire, but I dunno why. Never a fish though!

    Up here I've seen some put old cowboy boots on fenceposts though I have never heard exactly why.

    To keep the rain off the top end of the fence post, to keep it from rotting, as quickly.....empty coffee cans work good, too.

    For farmers, they think that'll end a drought, and make it rain.....I usually just kill a day'um snake, and turn it belly-side up on the ground.....sometimes, it actually works.

    For wooden posts maybe, t-posts, not so much.

    Me thinks the hanging-fish thing "might" be a neighbor's set-up trap for untidy cats, crapping in his yard.....hence, for a city dweller, a well-placed shot from a pellet gun or rat-shot.....otherwise, country folk will just blow their azz off the fence with a 12 gauge and buckshot.....at least, that's what I heard.

    Wow. I figured people did this everywhere. Around here, drive any county road near fishable water and you will see fish carcasses usually catfish,stuck on fence posts.

    carcasses? carcassi?
