Yeah, I thought about that, but

it was behind a locked gate, 1/2 mile off the nearest road (we're on a gravel road), and was in an open field completely hidden from anywhere outside that field by woods or heavy treelines. The last time an unsuppressed gun was fired on it was about 4 months ago in the cooler weather. And our neighbors are good and trusted friends and not only would not do it, they would consider it great sport in dealing with some one who might. Billy, our bull dozier driving, Vietnam era Marine Sniper with 19 kills and flashbacks neighbor, drug a road hunter out of his driver side window and beat the soup out of him about 15 years ago. The game warden asked him why he did it and that all he had to do was call the game warden, he replied "Yeah I know, but I wanted to, he spot lighted my house".
Shooting on your own place is looked upon pretty much like owning a pickup and knowing where to get good enchaladas out there. If you don't "you just ain't from here ere ya boy". Our neighbors on CR 218 are trusted friends and a real hoot to be around.

There is a mature bull and a two year old "coming up" bull, both gentle as can be with us. But the cows are coming into season and I'm now betting that there was a herd bull testing contest and it got run over in the process. I have seen our original 2200 pound bull run at a 2400 pound fence jumper bull, get his head under his rib cage and throw him about 10 feet. About 5 years ago a yearling bull got his neck broken taking on the much larger king in one of those on our place.

Still it's a mystery. I'll probably find the top part of the target eventually. Maybe in the woods. But yesterday was over 100 degrees and I just drove the field looking for it in the truck.
