As far as hunting where cows graze .... it's awesum because they mask your scent and any bush noise . I have walked up to numerous bucks at very close range when cows are in the area .
Do you know what a thistle looks like or a cow for that matter? They are sharp/prickly and cows don't like them. My inlaws have 3000 acres in the Chilcotin with one very distinct patch of thistle in which everything around has be grazed on but every single thistle is still in tact. When we fed hay that had the odd thistle in the bale, it was the only thing left behind.
