Here it is illegal to not have them tagged. But courtesy, common sense and respect comes into play. that's what I have against city cowboys who come out to the country firing guns at everything that moves. Just because something may be technically legal doesn't make it right or ok.
So you think it's ok to shoot someones cows in DOC land even though it may have escaped through a fence that's had a branch over it, or one cut by poachers, or just cows that have jumped a perfectly good fence is fair enough just because you've got there before the farmer has been able to?
Here in Aus not two months back a bloke got jail I read for shooting cattle on public land.
