Yep, too many fences were built many years ago by just stapling the wire to trees, and now that wire's deeply embedded in the trees.

Railroad spikes and lumber mill saws don't mix either. Bloody bloomin tree huggers /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
I spent a good bit of time on Thursday straightening the bar on my saw after it was run over by a tractor. The bucket is a great place to carry tools so long as you remember they're there.

Saw chains and 16 penny or pole barn nails don't go to well either.
Don't ask me how I know.

I was on a project that required the removal of some $$trees. I was surprised when the logger rejected some very nice ones because of a black stain in the cut base. Seems the stain comes from metal somewhere in the tree.

Re: Barbed wire and saw chains don\'t mix!!!
I hit a 10 penny nail smack in the middle of a big butternut (3' diameter). That had to have been put in when it was a sapling. Bad thing was that I hit it during the back cut when falling it. Had to whittle at cutting the rest of the way until it fell.
A few years ago a neighbor asked me to remove a locust where the top had broke off in a windstorm. It was in a very straight line of trees and looked suspiciously like an old lot line. I spotted very faint signs that looked like a 3 wire fence had been fastened to it at one time. Smart me, I cut 6" above the top faint mark. Hit a nail! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Like 'em or not, tree huggers are environmentalists. The ones who spike trees are domestic terrorists. There is a big difference. Lumping the terrorists in with the genuine evironmentalists gives the terrorists cover. Please don't do that.

So am I. Just because I grow and harvest trees for a living doesn't change that fact. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I (and the company I work for) make decisions based on "sustainable yield", meaning that overall harvest is based on the amount of wood growing, so that there will be a viable supply of wood and decent jobs now, and in the future.
I prefer to refer to treehuggers as "Preservationists." /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Tree huggers, environmentalists, domestic terrorists. Tis a fine line. A fair number of folks would put them all in the same barrel. Also, seems anyone claiming to be one of those three would also claim to be two of those three. Which two? You'll never know.
I see your point though. Spiking trees is done to kill working people by bad people. Not all tree huggers are bad people.
