re: Cows on my lease

We had some goats loose on our lease and actually asked the game warden about this a couple weeks ago. He said the owner has something like 48 hours to report the livestock missing and retrieve them. But after that, they're pretty much fair game.
Personally I wouldn't shoot someone else's animals.

Its about a legal as it is for the farmer to take you out after.

Dude that is about the quickest way to lose a hunting lease I've ever heard. You don't even own the land but you are going 'take out' neighbors cow.

If they are branded or ear tagged you can try to contact the owner. If not call the sheriff's office and they will usually get someone to pen them up until the owner is found. After a certain amount of time if they aren't claimed they are mavericks and you can do what you want with them.

Crazy how deer hunters can have such a poor reputation..........

Shooting it would cause a huge shite storm for the landowner that will almost certainly end in you losing your lease.
My first move if some idiot deer hunter causes me that kind of drama.

Did you sign your hunting lease knowing this grazing rights lease was in place?

No i had the hunting rights first. Planted 1000 lbs of wheat foodplots. The man let his horses ruin them. He fenced sections off where i had no access by closing up fence gaps. Kept calling wardens to harass me since I was from out of state.

Maybe. But when you are buying out of state licenses, paying a premium price for a lease,and all your hard work is being destroyed while you are not there by a guy that you asked to keep horses off your foodplots but refused. Then I did what I needed to do, what I had to do.

If I’ve learned anything reading this thread it’s that the owners of thousand pound animals apparently think them getting out is everyone else’s problem but theirs.

Had a problem with cows once. We just bought them from the guy and told him we wouldn’t buy them again. There is some agency you can get a hold of that will catch them and take them to auction if the owner doesn’t buy them back and repay the damages.

Let me clarify what my situation was.
Neighbor was older and his son was supposed to take care of the cows. Well, the cows always got out/let out and would go straight to our food plots and wipe them out, 5-7 cows(bull, cows and calves). It got to the point they were basically free range cows. You know darn well that if someone hit one of them with a car nobody would claim it and obviously the owner wouldn’t have the money to pay. I guess he would have lost his house and land. I can tell you the deer there never got used to those cows. You could have 15 deer in a plot and they would lose their shite when one of those cows came in the plot. Forget about mineral licks, lol. Damn cows would find them within a week and wipe them completely out. 5 acre corn field? Gone, just depending on when the cows found it/got out/let out.
It started out only during the winter, probably because of not having to buy hay. Then it became year long cows being free range because we had summer plots. Asked lawyer if we could kill one and he straight up said, “if you shoot one I would rather be the other guys lawyer”, then laughed. Fricker was family friend and lawyer lol. If you shoot one don’t get caught. Livestock has more rights then some people.
Local law enforcement couldn't or wouldn’t help us. Ended up just buying them and told him we wouldn’t buy them again.

Wasn't there a guy here a few years ago asking what kind of license he needed to hunt cows?
If I remember the post he was going on his first deer hunt on a friend's property. The friend told him there were feral cattle that had been there for years after a hurricane and if he wanted he could shoot one.

With the price of beef, I would claim self-defense from a charging steer. But seriously, don't shoot someone else's cattle. We had some a-hole in our club last year that shot someone's wandering horse.

We are bordered by some cattle. One year they were smoking us. They weren’t worried about the plot as much as the corn. I came around the corner and saw three angus with tags in their ear hammering down. I took a picture and sent it to the owner. I told him you better come get them. We are getting the backhoe ready to string them up.
He was also a life long family friend and knew I had no intention of shooting a cow. I spooked them back and he found where they had been getting out.

They are a major PITA. SOB’s show up at the wrong times, knock over feeders, eat any corn they can find, and last year, I had one try to charge my ground blind while turkey hunting. Fuk’em
