by a watering hole.
A friend and myself went riding ATV's. We took his truck. We parked next to a watering hole on BLM land. After returning back to the truck that afternoon we noticed several dents on one side of the truck. With a closer inspection we then noticed that the whole truck had been worked over with one of the mirrors broken off the passenger door. At first we thought vandalism by some tree hugger but there were no other vehicle or people tracks around the vehicle. I did notice over by the water hole were several head of cows that were not there when we pulled in that morning and standing in the middle of them was a large Hereford bull with red paint on his horns and a smile on his face.
Yes this bull used my buddies truck for a rubbing post! I just about $hit!
He wanted to put a 240 grain slug between the bulls eyes but I talked him out of it.
Luckily he had full coverage insurance on his truck.
Let's say that he would have only had liability insurance. Would the rancher who owned the bull be held liable? It was on public land?
What are your thoughts?
