How do you chase away cows?

[Geezy Rider]

Good grief people. It's not animal abuse to thump a cow with a sling shot. My goodness, I've popped my own horses in the rear with a daisy bb gun before. They all have very thick hides and I promise you, you're not going to harm them.
I guess I'd better go destroy my cattle prods and tear down the electric fences before someone on here turns me into PETA.

Unless they are laying down, they will graze thru in 10 or 15 minutes. Remember those cows make a lot more money the hunt lease.. our you can try to pay an extra 20 per acre and buy the grazing rights.

The cows on my lease are not supposed to be there. So they are worth nothing to my land owner.

Call the sheriff and have them pick up the cows.

Get down and walk towards them, my guess if they are getting it that much they aren't very tame.

Our just wait them out. A heard of cattle running away from a spot isn't going to improve your chances much.

I don't think there is much wrong with a bb gun, as b long as it is like a daisy red rider, or other low powered bb gun. In your case.

Cows have ruined 3 out of 6 of my hunts this year already. I've gotten out twice to chase them off. Didn't see anything afterwards. Going to try slingshot or bb gun. Owner put cubes out near front of property. Cows didn't touch them. Guess they like corn and oats. Had deer out first time. When cows came a certain distance, deer ran off. I have pics of deer and cow at feeder but next pic shows cow chasing off the deer. Next may be panel feed pens.

Planted oats? If so you are going to have a long season of cow visits.

Shoo cow! Shoo!

BB gun or sling shot

Its one thing to do something to your own cattle, but its not hard to get cattle to go away, and one fowled shot and you got a cow hit in the eye.

My biggest issue with all of this is the attitude that was displayed, and the fact that I've witnessed a carcass lose $200 of value because of a welt on the rump. And a cattle prod will not cause the same thing like what I'm talking about.

Ok, I hear what you're saying but a 1/4 steel ball from a sling shot isn't going to leave a welt nor will a bb from a Red Ryder. As far as the carcass goes. My cattle sell at the sale on the hoof. The buyers in the stands can't see that small of a blem even if there was one.
But hey pardner. You are right....your cattle, do what you want. Someone else's, ask them what's the best course of action.

Cowboy up and do the right thing.

This is a very good technique
