It would require remote camping with supplies being packed in on horse back about 20 miles. Could you construct this fence your speaking of with the plastic fence post that have the steal spike?
Yes, I think you could. Just be ready for freezing weather to freeze them in place! We've had to use a post puller to extract metal posts. I don't know what might be available to pull plastic posts. Also make sure you take into consideration all the other things needed for hunting in griz country.
We're fortunate in that we can drive in and set up our camp before the road is gated for the winter. After the gate gets closed for hunting season, it's only about a 3 mile hike into our camp. We normally set up camp the first weekend of October, then return to hunt the middle of November. The gate is re-opened Dec. 1 and we have 10 days to get our camp out.
