An Example of how Open Range Laws work

You are driving down a country road and a cow jumps out. You hit it, total your truck, break your leg, get a concussion. You also kill the cow.

But, you are in an open range state, and the cow is the private property of the rancher who owns it. You have destroyed his private property so you are legally required to pay for the cow.

The fact that you weren't on his property makes no difference at all. You could even be on your OWN property and still have to pay for the stupid cow.

The open range laws are a straight up rip-off and everyone familiar with these laws knows it!
