Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Idaho rancher killed by deputies over a wounded bull.

The Burn After Reading, open range conflict scene:

[quote=cv540 Most likely scenario was to make his point that he thought the bull shouldn't be put down. [/quote]

That kinda attitude will get you four to the chest. All the way back to what Angus says, if'n it means that damn much to you, keep it in the barn.

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.

Yep, that's it.

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.



Dave

Gruff probly thinks you're black because the lights are out.

He usually only says it when I steal from him.

He's strange.




Dave

A good friend would give you his tunic and his cloak. Just sayin.

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.

Time will tell if we ever get all the facts.

I doubt you've ever had one.

Just sayin'.




Dave

I sure as hell wouldn't roll up and hop out with a gun if the cops were already there. That's just asking for trouble.

Not saying cops are trigger happy idiots but you don't always know who you're dealing with and vice versa from the cops perspective.

I'd just as soon let the cops shoot the critter anyway.

Amen

What an incredibly uncivilized thing to say. I find you sir, to be a cur of the lowest sort.

You're right, you don't get out much.

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.

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.

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.
