We had a ton of rain for us in March (3”-4”). Cows have been in wet grass for weeks and we are fighting foot rot like I haven’t seen since 1992-1993. Only good thing about it is I get to hunt in June. Second pic is a shot from about 20 yards. You can see the aluminum dart hanging out of her neck as she runs off. Dart had 10cc of Draxxin so she should be good for 5 days. I’ve had to dart 5 in the last week.

Yes they are. Cowboy days are over. I punched cattle from 8 years old until I was 28 then became a sod buster. Last one I had roped and treated cost me $200. Darts are $10. Glad these things weren’t around when I was a cowboy they would have cost me a ton of cash and some great times

Will the darts puncture a tire if you don't recover them?
Keith We don't recover many. Pretty short aluminum needle and the way they are built not likely to flatten tire.

Lots of places up in the hills of Kansas a cow will go hide from you where she can be sure a rubber tire will never follow.
