Cows trespassing. What to do?

99.% positive Mason is OR.

It's always that 1% that get ya..... Mason is on the closed list.

How's that wrong?


If the owner is so concerned about his "valuable cows" he would make it a great priority to get them back.

I'm not in the business of feeding someone else's livestock.





I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately...

The owner is laid up in the hospital according to the OP.

If it was my place and my elderly neighbors cows got loose on my place, because that's who really owns the cows, I'd go pen them myself and tell them to come get them or I'd even haul them back if needed. I try and always have my neighbors back and I would hope they have mine.
Tell your hunters if they **** the neighbors off and they happen to shoot the buck of a lifetime and that buck jumps the fence the neighbors may tell him to **** off and he can't go get it.

throw out a round bail and put a covert on it. Then when cows are there tell neighbors where they are so they can get them off. Then fix fence.. Might pour corn on hay since they like it so much. I would do it close the the neighbors side/gate so they can push them through.

How bout go fix the fence?

Have you helped them look? does anybody have a drone you can use to look over the property? I'm sure there are a number of solutions to this problem.

This is the best thing I have heard all day.

I had the same thing happen on a place I managed and ran hunts on in Johnson City. I spent some time walking/driving fence lines, I found where they were getting through, chased them with my truck and on foot back through there, and then fixed the fence. No problems ever again. Wasn't worth me griping at the neighbor over something a cow did. It did take a couple of hours for all of it to happen, but once done, that ice cold beer was great!

Exactly right and fix the fence, I doubt that it's a big job.

Elderly neighbor, in the hospital, daughter having to deal with that and with cattle on someone elses property I imagine she could use some help.

But that's just me.

They said they can't find a bad spot in the fence.

[AntlerCollector]

Two cows were found today. They were not able to find any others.

No offense, but they aren't looking hard enough. Unless someone left a gate open, there is a section of fence down somewhere. Maybe your fellow hunters want YOU to find it and fix it? I don't know how long a distance it is that they would need to walk to fix it, but if it was my 600 lbs of corn that had been eaten and I had pics of the culprits, I'd be walking the entire fence line and finding it
