Cowboy Boot on Fence Post


Evidently in some states out west there's a tradition of putting old cowboy boots on fence posts. Some of these nutty cowboys have hundreds of boots on miles of fence posts. One guy in Oklahoma has over 600 pairs of boots on his fence posts.

Cowboy boot superstition says that a cowboy boot on a fence post means someones at home.
I couldn't find a definitive meaning behind putting the boots on the fence posts.
It also seemed appropriate to add a Western Fence Post lizard.
The boot and lizard are carved out of Poplar.
