Cows

I fish a fly syndicate on a river than runs through a farm. The cows always give me the 'come in our field if you think you are hard enough' look when I approach. Although I have never come to any harm, I much prefer avoiding direct contact if possible. On the odd occasion when they have made a move towards me I have stood my ground and it turns out I'm harder than they are!

How to stop cows charging


This has always worked for me . As a kid I used to spend a lot of time with a fella who was a poacher . When out harvesting he taught me never to run from cows . Stand your ground and make noise and they stop instantly ... 😎☺️works every time .

Love it Steve...Actually I think I am the only member with a cow in their Avatar😁 They have a wicked sense of humour despite everything.

This bugger wouldn’t leave me alone when I spilled some Source bait dip on the back of my fishing chair. I never noticed it at the time, being somewhat pre-occupied with fending off the unwanted attention of this great lump behind me, but in the far distance the bull looked to be sizing me up too.
I think he's just keeping an eye on you in case you shag his missus.
 
Can remember fishing the teme years ago with a couple of mates and as we was walking back to the car after it got dark we came across a couple of guys hiding behind a tree on the bank surrounded by cows lol. One of my mates was from a farming family who just laughed and marched straight through them closely followed by us and these 2 guys quickly tagged along. If I’d been on my own I’d have probably joined the lads behind the tree lol.
