Utah teens admit to hunting cows

PROVO, Utah, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Two teenagers in Orem, Utah, have admitted to hunting nine cows last month after becoming frustrated during a deer hunt.

Utah Division of Wildlife Resources conservation officer Paul Davis said in a statement the teenagers confessed to shooting the cows repeatedly with arrows, The Salt Lake Tribune reported Sunday.

"The two teens were frustrated that they hadn't harvested any deer during the archery deer hunt and shot several cows during the first weekend of the archery deer hunt in the Clyde Creek area near Strawberry Reservoir," Davis said.

Luckily for the cows, the teenagers' arrows were only tipped with practice points.

When the injured animals were found, both the Utah Bowman's Association and the Bowhunters of Utah, Hoyt and Easton provided funds for a reward for the assailants' arrests.
