So Who Has been Zapped by an Electrical Fence?

The first time i really got zapped was just south of Tallahassee Florida at night. The fence was 5' and i needed to grab onto a tree limb to get over easier. Well apparently the tree limb must have been rigged up to the electricity because it zapped me real good, but i still made it over. I only found 1 Cube in the field, and then the only way out of the pasture was to get zapped again.. so i got juiced a second time on the way out.:)
Another time i was at work (land surveying) in Lithia Florida and i was holding the prism pole/rod at the property corner of a donkey pasture. My party cheif warned me the fence was electric but sure enough i got zapped when the rod accidently made contact with the fence. It was enough to almost fall over hehe good times:)
Anybody else been zapped?

As a little kid, I once tried peeing against an electrified fence. Tried it just once, but that was good enough for a world record jump.

My brother once peed into some bushes and peed on an electric fence. I laughed my ass off.
Happy mushrooming!

I can say that fortunately, I have never been zapped by an electric fence. A friend of mine that used to have a cow pasture with a fence that was live told me that to get zapped, the fence has a pulsating charge. He also warned me not to pee on the fence too. I took his word for it and did not test it.

its happened to me a few times... a couple of weeks ago i was out stalking pidgeons at the edge of a field... i had my air rifle pointed at the floor (i didnt notice i was actually holding the barrel below the wire) and when i saw my target i lifted it up and got zapped... DUH!
best thing to do is to grab someone elses hand and then grab the wire... the person at the end of the chain gets the zap 
have also seen a kid pee on an electric fence, he jumped clean off the ground lol
yes i know my comment has nothing to do with mushroom hunting...

It's all fun and games until they jump away and let go of you... then you're screwed.
I've been shocked a few times... Never while mushroom hunting, just being a reckless kid.
On a separate note, I've also been shocked by an electric catfish. An electric fence doesn't have shit on a nice jolt from an electric catfish. Man that hurt.

A fish?!! Awesome!!!
When I worked in the kitchen as a sous chef, I recall that for whatever reason, if you touched both the metal table/work station/fridge, and a similar metal station next to it OR the tall metal dessert fridge at the same time, you'd get zapped!!
I kept forgetting, out of habit of course, cause when you are in a dinner rush, sometimes you need to hold open one door while reaching in the fridge behind to get something... So i'd always be getting zapped!
Of course, I was not the only one in the kitchen....... So i'd inch my way sideways while working, and wait for one of the chefs to put their hand or whatever on the metal table top, then i'd touch my table, and grab their arm! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Or sometimes I'd lure a waiter into the kitchen, and wait for them to lean against the table, then grab the fridge door and zap them! One time I got all the chefs to hold hands in a row, with the one on the end touching the table, and then I'd touch the opposite table top, and everyone would be all "AAAHHHYYYEEEEEEE!!!"

I worked on this horse farm growing up for a couple of years. And they had this pen set up for these damn goats that would shock the shit out me at least once a week it seemed. If your shoes are wet from the grass (which it rained a lot there), the shock is enhanced by 10 times it seems!

Just a couple weeks ago, I was foraging for pawpaws on my inlaws farm. I saw the first pawpaw of the hike and I walked directly towards it, only caring about my footing on the ground. I walk right into the electric wire, have the time to think "get the fuck away" before it sends a shock right into my ribcage. Wow fuck. I'm not going to be that careless again.

So did you end up getting zapped, alot of fence pulse, so if you hit it, you might have a chance to back up.......

Me! We were crossing into a sheep pasture. My friend Dave told me they were electric. I said. "Naaah, they aren't electric..." So I sit down for a break (Stone out of my mind and we had nothing to drink. All the money was in the gas tank.) So I decide to reach over and grab the wire. "Hmm, nothing." Then suddenly. "Ahhh! Shit!" I touch it again to make sure... "OW! Fuck! It's electric!"
Needles to say it was a dull shock, but nevertheless shocking. Lol. Crossing the fence was no problem.
