Miles, My dogs work both ends, one is a quarter pit. Healers are tough little bastards and I have had a few, lol they are good for getting you bucked off. Most bulls would turn to face if they are hurt and mad. I am seventy years old and have been handling cattle my whole life. Seen many pissed off bulls, have shot a couple due to car wrecks.
We have about 9 miles of fence that borders either gravel or highway.
I have the county sheriff dispatch on speed dial and they have my parent's phone numbers on hand.
Small pastures close to town.
Part of the reason I rarely go anywhere is the simple fact that you never know when some idiot is gonna drive through the ditch and take out the fence.
This was about 3 weeks ago.
The big pastures out in the hill are all open range and it's all gravel roads with warning signs etc..
Fireball is either trolling or is maybe just very ignorant.
Believe me, the last thing we want to happen is for someone to hit a critter.
No way to say what happened out in Idaho so it would be foolish to comment on that.
I thought only blacks had problems with the police and they earned it so it's ok? And white guys are supposed to support cops because it's just right and all.
I'm having trouble tracking all this. Maybe I smoke too much dope.
No idea. None of my black friends have problems with the police.
Gruff thinks I'm black and I honestly don't have any problems with them either.

I just don't whip it out without reason. I sure as heck don't whip it out around other armed persons who may not be sure of my intentions, whether they are cops or anyone else.
The fact that he brought a gun, if he had left it in the truck wouldn't have been a factor.
Gotta wonder why he chose to deploy it. Most likely scenario was to make his point that he thought the bull shouldn't be put down.
I am guessing here and I really don't like to guess without facts but I think the reason they called him in the first place was to come and put the bull down. I also don't see that calling him to come was in any way ignoring the folks who were hurt in the car.
This article won't stop the rampant speculation on here, mostly from folks who probably don't have a clue where Idaho is and surely don't know where Adams county, where the incident occurred, is located. Lighten up folks the facts will come out eventually, if there were misdeeds the facts are a lot harder to cover up in a place like Adams county than they are in some other places.
Having a high old time, spitting coffee through your nose, crackin' jokes, ....what a great party.....
Somewhere along the line I missed being issued the capacity to JOKE about this sorta' thing.
Whoever commented about your superimposing midwestern mindset on a WESTERN issue was bang on, mister (small m)
Don't really see it as a "Western Issue." Someone decided to show up where the police were, brandished and discharged a firearm, and got himself killed. Don't care if he was from Idaho, Wisconsin, or New York. Don't care if he was white or black, a rancher or a dope dealer.
He precipitated his own death, and won't get any tears from me.
Don't think a "mindset" about how police are going to react to an armed man interfering their attempts to rescue injured people is going to change much from coast to coast.
Oh, you've made that quite evident,...hell you think this situation's FUNNY.

No, again it's QUITE evident what you see and don't,....you've identified yourself for what you really are quite handily, and in some specific detail.

Because in those links with information about open range laws I do not see any mention of liability falling on the driver. It just states that the animals owner shall not be held liable. Seems like liability is determined in court, but hell, what do I know...

Yep, that's it.
It would certainly APPEAR so, Azzwhole.

Linking this death to the Ft Worth homeowner killed in his garage by cops at the wrong address, and the former Marine killed by Tucson SWAT, the obvious lesson to be learned is that if you have a firearm when cops show up, and you didn't send for them...... shoot fast and straight.
Being the only survivor has obvious advantages when compared to being the victim of a wrongful death by cops.
