Rocks on a fence post

I have been seeing a lot of these as I drive rural roads, anybody know what they May mean? I even saw some near lake Ivie this weekend. These were west of Andrews.

When you keep hitting them with a bush hog, you tell me where you are going to put it?

Feral pet rocks, they climb up there and then cant get down.

Tom Horn Killed those posts?

The rock took a fence to something

pants on the ground

nader indicators, rock there/no nader, rock gone/nader came thru.

I thought everyone knew that.

Seen where some people do that to keep the top of the post from getting wet and weather rotting as fast. Had a person back in high school throwing a "private" drinking party and they put rocks on the post by the corner where you needed to turn to get there.

Don't stop near that rock and be there very long, or several people may come out of the brush and jump into your pickup bed!

That's kind of what I was thinking maybe some kind of pick up point. IDK

husband is out of town...

In the hill country and back roads the illegals will use a branch with a dogleg in it to point to their camp. So when they leave for whatever reason all they have to do is spot that stick on the side of the road and they're home. That rock could mean the same thing.

If someone is jumping your fence, they will knock the rock off the post.
Let's you know you have a visitor

These are all very good reasons, truth is, some kid probably put them there

I was going to say it was a rancher and farmers weather forecaster.
If rock it wet it is rainy
If rock is dry it not rainy.
If rock is on the ground it is windy.

I believe this is the answer, apparently they are just getting started.

I googled "Rocks on a fence post". Google said no dang idea. My dad would make up a story and make it believable.

Rocks were never more than 100 yds. apart and no gates or fence gaps, there are about 50 between Andrews and Seminole. Single ones other places near Ivie.

Need more pictures to be sure. Keep em coming.

I’ll be through that neck of the woods next few days. Pretty interesting, I travel almost all roads in the Permian. I’ll look for more and post any I may find.

Altar to the Rock Gods

Where we stop to piss, it’s our marker

Love it! Maybe we should create a new sub-forum area for this.

It’s a wicken thing. Prevents chupacabras from killing the cattle.

Seen rocks stacked up on top of each in a single row, used by illegals as trail markers. Rocks on top of the fence post does interest me, could be done to see if illegals are crossing the fences, good thinking on that one.

Counting cars . . . . .

Ex-FIL used to do that so he would remember which area of fence needed repairs.

This seems most logical

The Indians used those to mark their burial,grounds.

It's a tourist trap to see how many folks will stop and take a picture
Caught another didnt they
