I think he did kill the cow but made up the story about having to "hunt" it because it was on the loose causing multiple thousands in damages. I'm guessing it had to be put down because of age, sickness or probably for butchering as the pic appears to be taken in a wooded pasture and butchered meat is much more tender and better tasting if the animal is killed quickly and by surprise. Great story though, good thread.

2 witnesses would say otherwise! Watched the HUNT from the vehicle. No one would purposely butcher a cow in 90 degrees. Doesn't look sick or old from the photos does it? Unlike the guy that poached a 200" deer and claimed he killed it legit at 1st - u will NEVER read about an "Iowa guy who shot a trophy cow on a free range hunt is busted for a huge coverup cow poaching operation & black market bovine hunts." This one is to the T as she happened and how my trophy of a lifetime came to be! Milo Hansen had to deal with rumors and it's to be expected ill face the same scrutiny. And like the Rompola buck- I am rejecting record book requests to inspect the cow.

Has anyone else noticed there's no ear tag? I don't want to be a naysayer, but maybe with a kill of this magnitude you should have got the DNR involved. Next thing you know they'll be knocking down your door, taking away your freezer, buns, ketchup, cheese...anything and everything that might be linked to that kill.
But really, way to bring home the vittles. :way:

Wow good goin there. I often wondered how much damage the neighbor cows would do to my crops and food plots if they got out and on to me? I know they escaped and got to the neighbors feeder and ate it up good. Neighbor had cell cameras and he knew about it right away. I have good strong interior fence but some fields would be easy pickins. I am always tempted to leave some of my interior gates open allowing the deer a nice pinch to flow through. My only fear is that one lone cow will destroy my dried up attempt at some deer food.

Used a gun during cow bow season ? Looks like a big fine to me LOL.
Yes, I'm being investigated by the USDA Meat Inspection Task force thanks to Windwalker's post. Raided my house last night as they think I've been selling these black market hunts to McDonald's executives and me being the main supplier for the Big Mac's across the midwest. Fraud charges are in the works for promoting as Grade-A Prime beef when it's really only "Select" according to the charges and court documents. Apparently some parents had complained their kids bit into bullet fragments while enjoying their happy meals. There used to be a "Cow Harvest Section" on Iowawhitetail - in response to the previos post to windwalker - but I had some guys shut it down as I'm trying to keep a tight leash on that market. Seems to be spiraling out of control down hill. I can't keep up with the cover-ups, the lies & mafia-like management on my people who "know things". Success, riches, groupies, fame - it's all great til folks start figuring out the truth.
