Back about 25 year ago, I tried to bench press a TD9 and got laid up. The day before deer season opened, I was out exercizing and inspecting a new loading chute the SIL had just completed. Leaving the pasture, I planned on going back down later and doing some more work. I hung the gate chain on a nail and hobbled back up to the house on crutches. About midnight, the phone rang. "Do you have cows? Are they black? We think they're out in the middle of the road!!!"
We sprang to action. All I could think of was that opening day was in about five hours. I climbed on a tractor and went down for a bale of hay while Mom and the kids tried to get the herd off the road and on the pastured side of the farm. A neighbor joined us. I came back with hay, and about half of the herd followed me back down into the pasture, but the other half took off in a different direction, toward a development that borders my farm. At least Mom and company were in hot pursuit, and managed to turn the leaders back across the road. I managed to get the first ones back in, and saw the lights coming through the woods. I got another bale of hay and as that bunch came through, we got them in. The neighbor and I got a good head count, and looked around for Mom. She finally came out of the woods cussing up a storm. She had gotten hung up crawling through a split rail fence, and had thought she'd be found there around spring or Christmas. She also couldn't understand how the herd had gotten through it.
I told her that it was only a few sections of decorative fencing, and was called a bald faced liar for it. Until I showed it to her in the light the next morning. Momma weren't happy about that one, and still tries to spin the story that the fence didn't exist and she really didn't get tied up in it. There's just a few too many witnesses still living....
