Aggressive Bull

Wolves are a problem here. They are definitely protected. We have a don't ask don't tell policy on how to deal with them.
There is a pack that killed a lot of cattle in 2021. The game dept took out 2. The alpha male and a yearling. They wouldn't shoot the alpha female. She had a tracking collar. This fall during deer season someone shot that female. There is a $15,000 reward for information on whoever shot her. Nobody has said a word. I hope whoever did shoot the wolf keeps their mouth shut.

IF a cow calves in the open it can be a problem but most will calve in the brush and I don't see them near as bad there.

Yeah in the summer when the trees and bushes are leaved out I’m always glad to see a cow get back in them to calve, and hope that buzzards don’t find them. In the winter it’s pretty much wide open here and no place to hide.

Don't the buzzards migrate south in the winter? Our turkey vultures do.

No, both kinds are here year round.

Maybe Texas is south because they’re all over here. Watch them circle yesterday

Yep, we see them making there rounds here in KY pretty much every day here too. Any time you look up you’re subject to see some. They are like the coyotes they are extremely successful species and of course being a protected species helps them too.

I have heard that if one commits suicide and hangs himself from a fence it scares the others away.

Works with ravens and crows too. Sometimes several have to commit before the others go away.

Is there a reason to kill ravens or scare them off?

Crows are actually worse for picking at a weak calf, whether it be chilled at birth or a flat calf with scours. Have had a calf lose an eye to crows. We eventually ate her.

Game wardens will tell you the Mexican buzzards are like the axis deer that are not native to our state. No season or protection if I’ve been told right

In which state are you located? I'm sure it's not Minnesota, but there are 49 other states.
Please add state location to your profile.

Pretty sure the only state with a significant feral axis deer population is Texas.

We have nilgai too.

The man that bought my East Texas property has intentions of high fencing it and stocking axis and other exotic game there. "Good luck with that bud..." Bounded on 2 sides by 160,000 ac of Nat Forest and one side by a river that frequently floods. Net fence gonna catch lots of flotsam.........

And you know that because... you're from Texas. lol

Isn't saying Texas shorter and simpler than saying 'our state'?

I genuinely thought the whole nation knew about the Texas phenomenon of feral exotics, since 8 gorillion people come here to hunt every year.

Texans match Californians and New Yorkers in believing they are the center of the universe.

It's not the center, just the best.

Tends to be a big thing in many southern states, but don't hate us 'cause you ain't us

Then how are others to know location is Texas and not Louisianna ect?
By the lack of common sense to clarify where 'here' is?
