Back when I was still in high school and doing so much steer work, the one of the things I said to the kids was 'dont ever let go' if they run away, because boy I have learnt the hard way how difficult they are to break in if they get away.

Anyway, I must have said it more than I thought to them, because one day I had them leading the steers out on the football field, and one of them took off like lightening. The kid that was leading him, promptly lost his footing and landed hard on his belly, arms straight out in front of him, the steer is tearing around dragging this kid behind him and the kid is lying there screaming to me 'I'M NOT LETTING GO! I'M NOT LETTING GO!'. The steer then headed home for his stall, well the gate to our little complex was open but right in the middle was this great big rock that no one had yet managed to move. And the steer, well he could go around it, but this kid was heading, well, head first for it. And this rock was BIG, bigger than the kid. So he's yelling 'I'M NOT LETTING GO!' when we all started shouting 'LET GO! LET GO! LET GO!'

Kid ended up letting go before the rock, still not sure whether he heard us, saw the rock or just couldnt hang on any longer

Age 16, Truck Yellow 1949, midnight on a gravel road.
Buddy and I hit a nice little buck. The deer was under
the truck a kicking and banging the under carriage. I
jump out, open my old case pocket knife, and yell for
my buddy to back the truck up as I held onto the horns.
Big mistake. In just seconds I had deer tracks all over me,
my shirt was almost gone and, the deer had pawed holes
in my jeans. I was glad when the deer finally turned me loose.
We looked for two days before finding the knife.

If you have never roped a bobcat you have never had and fun. Many years ago running the traps on horseback had a bobcat decided to rope it and was going to take it into town which was about 1/2 mile away got the rope on it the drag loose on the trap scared the horse and me on the horse and just could barley keep the cat off both of us the relief finally came when the cat broke its neck.

Memo to self: Be very careful about taking advice from Keren. Sometimes her directions can be easily misunderstood.

Basically used me as an anchor on the end of the rope!

With that calf I was a drag, and not a very good one, rather then an anchor

Yup, drag is better word! She dragged me all the way to the barn.
