That's the law.....seems like the rancher had taken control quite well and the Deputies did not approve.

I was a deputy and human life is more valuable than any property or livestock. Period.

Your opinion. Period

The vehicle driver is liable for damages. It would be ashamed to have a Deputy like VOR who would enforce his own version of the law and not the actual law.

If the story is accurate, hopefully , the two Deputies see hard jail time and the county looses a large law suit

If this proves to be open range then the public is responsible for avoiding the bull not killing it. Where are the ranchers property rights. Don't like the law? Move or change it.

Idaho does have "herd" districts where animals are required to be fenced. However, I find no herd districts within Adams county where this incident took place. If so the bull had the right to be on the road way and the rancher had the right to protect his property. The car owner would have been liable for any damage to the bull or his or her vehicle.
If this is true and the deputies are ignorant of the law, they should be charged with second degree murder.

If the road is open range, the deputies might be in trouble.
