I have some comments about the cows. They suck to hunt with. My buddy and I deal with them every weekend. Initially, we tried throwing things at them, like sticks and stuff. Yeah, that almost caught there attention. Then I brought a sling shot with me with 3/8" hunting shot. Makes them jump a bit, but doesn't scare them off. Finally, my buddy got so irritated in the stand one day, he took the broadheads off of two arrows and shot two different cows. The first arrow bounced off the cow's rear. He looked around, looked at the arrow, and proceded to graze. The second one was aimed at taking some skin of the top of the cows back, which it did. I saw the chunk of skin and fur in the arrow's insert. The cow jumped straight up, then went back to grazing. From what we have experienced, there is nothing you can do. We also have problems when we walk to the stands in the morning. They stampede into the timber the minute they see something moving in the dark. Some days everything works out fine and we don't have problems, but there are other days when the cows are a complete nuisance. Sorry for the long winded reply, I am venting for two.
