Here's two pics of where they are planted. Surroundings, to the cows, would look inconspicuous if the flags weren't on the trees, I think. Without flags, the cows wouldn't have been attracted to them. The area is somewhat open (cleared of underbrush, though they are on a hill in otherwise a swamp land environment.

I'd never expect them to survive unprotected flagged or no...just pure
chance they'd walk right on one first trip back to/from the water tank.

The flags may have sped up the process, but it was, imo, inevitable if
you turned cattle in there that way and had anything you really intended
to keep.
