Well me and my 2 boys and a couple of there beagle buddies jump in on building our new starting pen yesterday and got all the post, fence and mating down except 15' of the mating and the 2 gates up before the rain and ice started falling again but we fence almost 3 acres in 1 1/2 days and let me tell ya my age is showing, i'm sore all over but it really is looking good.
My last pen was 1 ac so this is a big jump for me to a larger pen. i built it longer than wider to give the hounds the chance to stretch out before having to make a turn. It's a acre wide and 2 acres long. My other was 1ac x 1ac this should give them alot more room.

Don't look like the weather will brake till Saturday evening and i got to hit the grind again Monday so i hope to have pics of it when i get it finished soon.It's full of red briars so a hounds won't be able to skirt much there and will sure get cut up when they go in this pen.Should be just right when our pups get ready to start. :nod:

One more full day and i should have it done if mother nature will cooperate.I will send pics as soon as i get done.

Will do but it's not got above freezing sense i last worked on it and it don't look it's gonna get any better for another week. Here we are expecting 6-8" snow Thursday and Friday so mother nature is not on my side.The low teens every night also.
Unless i get a backhoe i guess i will have to wait a while, but i will post them when i get it finished.

Thanks
