I tried this with some horses at our place and staked them well.  
Everything I staked out in their pasture has been destroyed or moved, 
etc.  You probably will want to bury them.

Terrain is in its natural state, never graded, planted or anything, just coarse grass and weeds and pretty rocky and uneven. I was hoping to use lawn staples (lots of them) as they seem to have a very good grip in this soil.
