Fences, Not Fights: Trail Hazards Explained

Fences, Not Fights: Trail Hazards Explained

Author: The Daily News Now! June 8, 2026 Duration: 1:21

Trail hazards in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest? Turns out most reports of mysterious wires and fences were just ranching infrastructure—nothing sinister. The Forest Service confirmed a barbed wire near Spire Rock was an old cattle fence, recently repaired, with some cuts likely from accidental damage. Another incident near Bernice? Just a regular fence hit by a vehicle. Even a ratchet strap found on a trail? No evidence of mischief. Ranching is real—and fences are everywhere. Stay alert, ride smart, and remember: tampering with grazing fences is illegal. It’s not sabotage—it’s just ranch life.
