Wild Cattle Hunting?

My father in law was going to shoot one of our bulls that became wild. We couldn't round up the SOB for two years. I think he was going to kill it out of anger, not sport....We finally got it in the trailer and it went straight to auction!
I saw on TV that Jim Shockey killed one in Argentina or Mexico or something...

A couple years ago, when working at the sale barn... Guy told me that he would pay me 500 bucks to catch a wild cow and bull on his place (2 sections). First thought was to drive up dart, load them, put them in the tall back pens of the sale bare until withdrawl period was meet and split $500 three ways in under an hour.,........
Took two days to find them(with two good Catch Dogs). It took us three days to get with in roping ranging , b/c it was to thick and couldn't ever get a shot with the dart gun. By the forth day we finally got the cow roped and choked down.... once loaded in the trailer she took out the middle gate of big bend cacth trailer($200 bucks to fix).... and went right over the top of the back of the catch trailer..... it gets better..
. we found the bull the next day I finally got a rope on him and before we could get another rope on him he came back up the rope, and broke a leg on my horse, and i broke two ribs..... The bull ended up getting shot dead ..
the cow was never seen again.
Wild or even unruly Cows are no joke... I've been around a few that would come to you for being in the same pasture....
Becareful what you wish for... Tame cows are fun to make jokes about.... the not tame will be the ones laughing when they are done with you.

Originally posted by Grafsonhunt View PostWent on a wild Watusi hunt at Mesquite Bowhunting. You could drive up to them in the truck, but if you stepped out they high-tailed it into the thicket. I stalked them and they were certainly wild, had to get ahead of them and catch them as they were slipping through the mesquite and crossing a road. I made a good shot, one I thought would put him down quickly, but four hours later I was still tracking trying to get another shot. These things are smarter than I thought. After...finally...the third shot I had my trophy. I would recommend this challanging hunt to anyone. It takes a long time for the two 40 gallon lungs to fill up, so always go for the heart shot first.

They make an impressive mount also.

Old lease member told me that last year the only thing he killed was a pig and a feral cow. I just did not know what to say. After reading this thread, it has me thinking. Could you kill one on public land. If you can find one?
