by law (as I have researched, but if there is a laywer out there, feel free to correct me) if your neighbors livestock wanders onto your property you are entitled to corral it and charge him the cost of maintaining it until he retrieves it. You do not get to hirte a bunch of illegals to begin shooting it on your property and then chase it onto a thrid party’s and federal property killing as you chase, then leave the carcasses to rot.
BTW, Park county had record snowfall this winter with 25 foot snowdrifts. All kinds of critters were walking over the tops of all kinds of legal fences

The complaints and damage claims were being completely ignored. As far as corralling the bison, see below.

The bison weren't walking over the neighbors fences on the snow, the bison were ripping the regular livestock fence apart, then continuing on their way destroying anything else they ran across.

As I said, shooting the bison was wrong, but the bison owner gets as much, or most, of the blame in my mind.

Have you ever owned or worked with cattle? How about adult bulls? Have you ever seen one walk through a five wire fence in pursuit of a cow? The bull isn't hindered by the fence in the slightest way. He'll pop those wires and posts as if they were made out of Styrofoam. Seriously, that's what happens.

Buffalo, as humongous as they appear to be are just the opposite. They hop six foot fences as easy as a cat does.
