Gun Stomped by Cows...

Ok, city boy me not being well versed in cow behavior made a mistake. After shooting my deer at 300yds and walking over to check it out and the such I decided it was easier to leave the old Wthby next to the deer then carry it back. Well, little did I know that cows go crazy when they smell blood and next thing you know they have encircled my deer and are stomping my gun into the ground.

It's at the gun smith now to have them look it over. It looks fine(except for muddy hoof prints), is there anything specific that I should make sure they check out?

Make sure you clean the cowsnot off it too, cows love to sniff things and blow snot on them afterwards!!! Just clean it and check your scope is all that should need doing.

well there are several things you need to do

1) attempt to load a shell
2) start randomly shooting at the cows
3) if it won't kill them use the rifle as a club and get even that way

Sounds like a crime against humanity. I thought even a cow could respect the beauty of a weatherby. Is nothing sacred? *snicker*

Personally, I'd revert to my youthful misbehaving ways and go a' cow tippin' in that pasture to get even. (just wait until after May as most cows are currently pregnant). Of course Bulls are fair game [Eek!]

If they legalise cow hunting, you now have the perfect bait.

Cows, uh "slow elk". Yeah that's it. Good excuse for practice with the DGR. Seriously, just check for external damage to stock, action, barrel, and scope. Then determine if the barrel is bent at all, sometimes it's a little hard to see. "Blood mad cows". Cool! - Dan

I agree You need to find a exorcist. That weatherby is now posessed by demands. Seek a vodoo witch,brazilian terot card reader,hypnotist etc

I`d find me one of them big name lawyers and sue the owner of them cows for not telling me they`d stomp a rifle [Big Grin] Maybe they`re some of those Brady or PETA cows.I wonder if they`d have walked on a Remchester or if they only pick on Weatherbys??
All this time I thought it was only horses that had a thing against guns [Big Grin]
