Here is a shot my buddy took last night. He was shooting at a deer inside the feeder pen made of hog panel. The deer ran off and he couldn't find any signs of blood. I was making fun of him for getting buck fever when he found the fence.

Had a guy at our place shoot his feeder leg. I have hit the top strand of barb wire twice.

I've never shot the fence, but have seen a friend shoot the feeder motor and a pass through shot on a doe took out a game camera. Bet he could never make that shot on the fence again

I have a pen made of range wire which is obviously quite a bit smaller diameter than that and still killed the pig I was shooting at. The ends of the wire I hit looked copper plated from the bullet. I've hit a feeder leg before too.

Perfect cross hair shot. I would say the gun is dead on.

I've never done it, but have seen a couple of hog panels take a bullet like that before. That sucks for your buddy because I bet he could shoot at the hog panel 100 times and not hit it again.

i hit a feeder pen with my bow 2 years ago trying to shoot a hog, he then proceeded to partially tear down 2 sides trying to get out.
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

One time, back when I was a kid. Hit an old barbed wire fence with a 35Remington bullet. You'd think a punkin ball bullet like that might have made it to the deer, but no.

Not the fence but bow hunting onetime I hit the feeder leg. Must of been dead center cause it drove the broadhead about 4" up into the arrow shaft.

I hit a strand of barb wire from 700 yards one time. Bad thing is, I was aiming at a piece of steel 14" x 14".

No, but I was real worried about it once. But the bullet went through fine.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Hit a strand of barbed wire from 60 yards with my scoped .44mag pistol shooting at a pig inside the pen. Missed the pig to boot. Sot the same strand of barbed wire from a different angle about 2 weeks later from about 110 yards with my .270 WSM. I'm either one dang good shot, or unlucky with pigs!!

Yep, biggest buck I've ever shot at, hit the middle wire on the barbed wire pen. If it wasn't for the lumennock allowing me to see it happen I'd have never believed it.
We kept it as a pet for several months until it got run over by a truck. Then we ate him.

Lets see, I have shot 2 feeder legs, a hog panel wire, a strand of barbwire and the horns off of buck hence the handle Hornslayer. Talk about pissing off a buck man that dude was mad.
They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!

I wont shoot through a hog panel for this very reason.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

I did it once shooting at a doe on the back side of the fence. I hit a single strand and curled both ends like in your picture. I followed a blood trail for 150 yds and found the doe. She had 2 holes in her, one above my point of aim and one equal distance below my point of aim. Sure glad I found her.
