My method,s
I have done this on fence runs up to 3/4 mile long most are only 1/2 mile
set the two end posts, (if one can see, first I have a orange painted, 2x4 12 long, and double head nail it to the far post), take a pair of binoculars, and set on the close end post, then I have taken a 2x4 8 foot, and have some one look through the glasses, and at the far end post, and then use the 2x4 to line up in the center of the and drive usually a marker post, (I usually drive a 3/8 to 1/2 rod electric fence post, and I ended up with about 50 4 foot one inch PVC pipe and slip on of them over the stake, go down a hundred feet or more, and do a second one,
and they if the guy sighting is doing his job they will be with in an inch of a straight line,
now if I can not see clear through, I do the same thing setting the end posts, and then (some times using the extend 2x4 for longer seeing, and go as far as one can and drive a temporary post, and go to the other end and do the same thing, hope fully one can see from one end post to the far temporary, now they may not line up, go and move the center one so one guess it will line up, trade and do with the other tempory post, and in time they will line up this may take few times. but one both of the temporary posts line up with there end posts the line is straight,
that is my method,
I have one fence I want to put in here some time this year, I will have to get up on and the neighbors hill and set a temporary post and then use that to sight back about a mile so get some marker posts in to get straight line through, a number of hills in the way,
the little walkie talkies help too,
