How to get rid of cows

[leasecommander]

There is one pasture that has a bunch of momma cows with little ones and they tend to hang around my feeders at 2 of my tree stands, so I had an idea, I bought a cheap slingshot and some ball bearings from Academy and man it was a blast shooting those cows, of course the shots bounced off, but it was fun, it got to the point that I didn't even care if any deer showed or not, and seemed like good practice for bowhunting. :-)

Lol,
I've been doing that for years!
It is a ton of fun. My cows have learned to haul some butt if they hear the slingshot now.
I don't even need to hit em' anymore.
I sling one off over their backs and they get a move on pretty quick.
To much fun tho- : )

Great Idea, I've gone as far as getting down and chasing off the cows. That's a hit and a miss and pretty much kills your hunting for a good while. Thanks.

I solved my problem with a solar powered electric fence. Did the slingshot thing before that

Sling shot here. Hit one cow 6 times this weekend before she finally took off. More frustrating to me than fun. I may eat a cow before the season is over it they keep running my deers off.

I call em and pour a bag of calling cubes then sneak off I have good feeder pens so they don't bother me to bad

I have about 10 rocks in the stand with me, if they come in I just throw the rocks at them. . .

That works for anything that your not hunting.

im gonna video my cows and deer together. yes, the deer do initially run off but once they realized they are not threatened they always linger around. if my land owner knew i was slingshotting his cattle i'd be off the property in a heartbeat.

I had a place with cows on it once. The cows didn't really bother the deer too much. They just destroyed my feeders, (fence jumping cows at that!), and ate my feed. I got to where i brought a bale of alfalfa and honked the horn on the truck, and fed them by the gate. Wya away from where i was going to hunt. Cost me some money, but i didn't have to worry about cows at the most inopportune times.

Take em to the sale barn

I only have one place with cattle on it--and there are only 3 of them. Slingshot works fine but tomorrow I'll see if they have a good memory from last season. Also, go to Tractor Supply and buy a pound of 1/4" or 5/16" nuts out of their bulk hardware---way cheaper than the Academy slingshot ammo.

I did that once on Lake Whitney public land and as soon as I ran off the cattle a huge 10 pt came in pushing a doe (HARD)
He had acorn knots all over his rack. Beautiful!!!
All I could do is set there and watch cause I hadn't made it back to my blind yet. Neither of them ever noticed me.
10 yards from my blind and about 15 yards from me.
I was sick to my stomach!!!
150" easy! Never saw him again.
