Cows on my lease

This week I’ve had 3 cows on my lease. Is it legal to take one out?
I don’t think I would kill one because I don’t want to piss off the owner but just wondering if it was legal.

No it’s not legal. Call the owner and tell him to come get his cattle

What legal right do you think you have to kill someone else's livestock?

What legal right does the livestock owner have to someone else’s property?

There are plenty of states the onus is on you to adequately fence them out
thanks for asking.Posted on 12/10/23 at 6:25 pm to MoarKilometers

I did not say I would kill it.
I know exotics are fair game if they get out.

Do they have collars on

If you shot one of our cows.....You're talking thousands of dollars in lost revenue depending on her age.
Now, it sucks they get out, but really, you're going to kill a beautiful animal? If it is a one-off that shouldn't bother you. When it is constant problem then I'd involve the local police. Farmers are responsible for their livestock.
Either way - it is probably the landowner's issue depending on how your lease is set up.

Shooting it would cause a huge shite storm for the landowner that will almost certainly end in you losing your lease.

I miss the "woods cows" on our property. They kept the brush in check and made nice paths along the river which made it easy to access my favorite hunting sites.

Fenced exotics are fair game

But then, you say this...

My friend, who asks such a question about killing an animal yet then says they wouldn't actually do so? A strange bird you are.

Each state may have different laws on this. In MS, I think you can charge the cow's owner x amount of money per cow.
Usually if cows are kept feed they don't roam much. I had a neighbor who wouldn't keep his cows feed during the winter. They kept getting out and on to my property so I got the sheriff involved and the cows were soon sold.

Good friend of mine had a lease where the adjoining landowner would purposely let his horses "escape" and feed on their green fields. Local cops weren't any help and he finally just gave up and let the lease go.

Don’t shoot the cow. But if you did, you would get much more, and better, meat than you would if you shot a deer.

It's only legal if it's truly an accident. Around dusk dark a cow/horse could be mistaken for a deer. I told that to a guy that put horses on my hunting lease during deer season. He had grazing rights lease. Needless to say he moved them off the hunting lease, when I told him that.
He had given me some trouble and he saw i was serious about a possible mistaken for game accident.

It is legal but I would say unethical without exhausting all means of notifying the owner of the cows.
In other words killing another man’s cows is a serious dick move

I have about 100 cows on my Lease.
I love having them there. the Game trails look like highways , the underbrush is cleared out regularly and the deer don't seem to be bothered a bit.
Now if I had food plots and feeders it might be a different story but I don't have any of that.
I hunt Natural Deer living naturally
