“When he arrived, Hawn built a fence to keep out intruding livestock, according to a lawsuit he has filed against the Downares.”

Wonder if Hawn is one of those “environmentalists” opposed to grazing on nearby federal lands?

I agree with you two, these aren’t hunters, not even in the same class as any hunters I know.

Some of the dead bison were found on federal land huh? These idiots are going to face some hefty fines for that I’d bet. Even though this is privately owned livestock, there’s laws governing hunting, killing animals on federal property.

The owner of 32 bison slain about 85 miles southwest of Denver filed a lawsuit, alleging owners of neighboring property hired 14 SHOOTERS to kill the animals.

Longtime Colorado rancher Monte Downare filed the lawsuit in Park County District Court Tuesday against Austin, Texas, businessman Jeff Hawn and his Denver lawyer, Stephen Csajaghy.

Downare claims “outrageous conduct” that has caused them emotional distress. No criminal charges have been filed. YET.

Hawn, who has identified himself as a major shareholder in Wateredge Properties

Of the 32 bison killed, only eight were shot on the Hawn property, according to the suite.

The rest were killed on property not owned or controlled by Hawn and his Wateredge Properties.
