Ive seen em cross fences many times to come in. More of a situtional thing, but im sure they would rather not if at all possible.

not always, the one ive got so far this year, crossed one. if you can legally get to the other side of the fence where the bird is though, do it.

I've had birds come under fences before. I would say it's a 50/50 chance that a bird will cross the fence. If you can get on the other side before they see you then I think it would increase your chances. Good luck!

They will hang up on fences, creeks etc.. BUT, depends on where you are too imo.. I hunt a cattle farm and there are fences all over the place.. I see birds crossing them quite often myself..

The least amount of obsticles between you and the bird the better!! They will hang up alot!!!!! But not always but most of the time!
