What on Earth is This?

[Bobonli]

I was scouting out at Wildwood today in Suffolk and came across a bunch of these screwed into trees and a few buried in the dirt. They were well away from any marked trail; on the margins of a field and woods. 

Is this some sort of camera mount or maybe the holder for a wire fence?  There was no fence in the area.

Looks like electric fence holders.  Were they in a straight line?

I'm assuming, that this is on private property, because I agree they are used for electric fencing and would have no purpose on public land

Never saw those types of LEGO’s before

I was within  Wildwood park according to both of my mapping apps including OnX. This is where the woods meets a field. The other side of the field is a DEC designated parking spot/ access point to the park for hunting. 

My initial thought was that the device held a wire. But no sign of a wire or any attempt to create a fence. There were maybe 3 of them and yes you could say they were in more or less a straight line. 

It doesn’t make sense to me to put a fence directly across from a designated access point.....but this is my first season so a lot of things don’t make sense!

Could have been for a fence that was taken down.

To hold up ropes for a crime scene.  Get outa there quick?!

Did you notice a trail cam nearby? Often oddly colored devices can be randomly placed in the woods to attract the attention of Bigfoot. Awesome find - congrats!

Maybe someone was using them as trail markers.  Hard to miss those... Lol

I sure hope someone wasn't spanning wire across a trail. Do they allow atv use on the property?

No ATV allowed and this wasn’t a spot you could get to on one

Perhaps some kind of campsite.

This is a really old post whose mystery was solved months ago. We now have moon landings, service pets and liver and onions to squabble over tonight.
