Gaebe Land Commissioner (September 27, October 4 and 11) Please support your local merchants October 11, 2012 Longhorns can be trouble Hello. Well. this may be my last col- umn. 1 hope not. But it could be. Because I am going after the wild cow this morning. I had better start at the beginning. Our cattle run in a "community" pasture. We have our cattle, our son's cattle, brother-in-law's cattle, cousins' cattle, and probably some that we don't even claim. And like any melting pot of cultures, there are bound to be problems. The people are alright, but some of the cows have become known as rabble-rousers. Especially Hans and Sandi's two longhorn cows. They have been building a reputa- tion for years. They are born lead- ers. They lead the other cows the opposite direction that you wish to go. And usually you can kind of handle it. But they have been teach- ing battle tactics and strategy to Darrel's Saler cows this summer. If you don't know what Salers are, just consider yourself lucky. They are the breed of cattle that broke the spirit of the French. You are better off not knowing anything about them. Anyway, yesterday we had to sort of Darrel's pairs. Beautiful day. Sun shining. No wind. Just a nice Sunday afternoon trail ride. The kind some people pay a couple hundred dollars tbr. The cattle were split in two bunches. We kind of eased through the first bunch and picked up over half of the pairs we needed. Just like we had planned. Then we snuck into the other herd and slipped out half a dozen before the longhorns noticed us. Ten to go. Ten red Salers and one longhorn started across the pasture at a brisk trot. A few of our black cows trying to keep up. We could just let them drift into the corner and sort the odd ones off. Piece of cake. Wrong! When that longhorn got to the corner she hopped over the I'ence. Her calf crawled through the fence. I whipped and spurred and headed the rest of the herd east before we lost them. I am really good. We took them across the pasture to the good corner of the fence. Here the fence holds two sides, the creek the south side, and the riders could hold one little spot while we sorted the odd stuff back. Like that Saler was going to lis- ten to that. She quickly got the lit- tle herd together and led them on a suicide dash to the creek. She bailed over the end of the bank. did a back flip, and started swimming. The whole herd followed her. Will headed around the bend and got them headed back. After lots of whooping and hollering, most of them bailed in the creek and we busted them towards the con'al. One red #$%^ made a run for freedom with her eyes closed. After a mile run, we roped the calf and weaned him a day early. This morning, I am headed back. I have my gun and my rope. You know how many people antic- ipate the tirst day of deer season. Longhorn season opens at daylight today at Lake I1o. And I am loaded for bear. With any luck at all. I should be able to bag the two-cow limit, lf l don't, it was good knowin' ya!

Motorists warned Motorists are reminded to watch for deer along roadways, especially this time of year, because juvenile animals are dispersing from their home ranges. October through early December is the peak period for deer-vehicle accidents. Motorists are advised to slow down and exercise caution after dark to reduce the likelihood of encounters with deer along road- ways. Most deer-vehicle accidents occur primarily at dawn and dusk when deer are most often moving around. Deer-vehicle accidents are at times unavoidable. However, motorists should be aware of warn- ing signs signaling deer are in the area. When you see one deer cross the road, look for a second or third deer to follow. Also, motorists are urged to pay attention on roadways posted with Deer Crossing Area caution signs. to watch for deer If an accident does happen, a local law enforcement agency should be contacted. Also, a permit is required to take parts or the whole carcass of a road-killed deer. Permits are free and available from game wardens and local law enforcement offices. A few precautions can minimize chances of injury or property dam- age in a deer-vehicle crash. • Always wear your seat belt. • Don't swerve or take the ditch to avoid hitting a deer. Try to brake as much as possible and stay on the roadway. Don't lose control of your vehicle or slam into something else to miss the deer. You risk less injury by hitting the deer. • If you spot deer ahead, slow down immediately and honk your horn. • No published research supports the effectiveness of deer whistles on vehicles.
