In any case, you don’t destroy another man’s property.

I love unintentional irony (apparently it's OK if you let your ANIMALS destroy another man's property.

You got that right!

Worse, IIRC, most if not all the carcasses were left to rot.

I was just pointing out that he already knew the legal situation; and he also insisted on running just a 2 or 3 wire fence that wouldn’t stop a cow, let alone a buffalo.
His reasoning for that was that if he was able to fence out the buffalo successfully, then he would also be effectively fencing out the local elk herd that he liked to look at.

And in any case, the fences were buried, which is a rather extenuating circumstance no matter whose duty it is to fence in or out.

About 2 months ago, there was a blurb in the local paper about our sheriff going out to a dispute. Some guy was holding a man & wife at gun point, because they had come to his property to retrieve some strayed cattle.
His excuse was that the cows had drank some of his pond water, and he wanted compensateed “RIGHT NOW, or you can’t leave!”
Didn’t matter they were neighbors, and that he knew who they were & how to find them, nor that the longer he held the owners, the more ‘water theft’ the cows would commit.

They had gone to his house, not just sneaked in to round them up by stealth.

Sheriff wasn’t to happy with our relatively new city transplant. He normally is able to get in a friendly introductory visit with newcomers to make sure they know the fence & range laws; and posting/trespass laws, since we do have some quirks that aren’t common.
