[QUOTE="Bez!, post: 176852, member: 2830"] Wasn't long ago I answered a post to a fellow who had a bull that was a "bit aggressive" - I told him to shoot it today and butcher it for his friends. I think he ignored the advice and I do not recall hearing from him again - he wanted to know how to "tame down" a bull that was on the prod. Now-a-days I am pretty careful - I figure I used up my one chance. Until you have felt one of them pushing you into the ground you have no true idea of their power. Even as I write this my heart rate is up a bit - but I bring it forward for the newbies to read. And maybe for myself as well - sometimes we all need to be reminded. Only 5% of people who experience an all out attack by a bull live to tell the tale - that stat from a cattlemans mag - I have NEVER forgotten it. From a while back I wrote: ------------------------------------------ [i]Lots of folks buy bulls - not many like aggression. Even those with the big herds know there is no percentage in breeding it into the herd. Appears sjackson may not be posting - hope he is reading this - have not told this tale in many years - I was just 18 at the time. Pop heard my story when he got home and did not bat an eye at what I did. Mind you he found me on the floor looking pretty tough. Still had my boots and coat on - fire in the stove - shivering cold. Watching a bull on the fight is impressive. As long as you are in a spot with an out. When you are in with him - well, it's not much fun. Bull tried to take me. I lived to tell the tale - about 32 years ago now - mid winter - no one home but me - bull lived for almost 5 minutes - the time it took to limp to the house and pull out the rifle. Went back in the house and curled up on the kitchen floor in front of the wood stove - slept right there for a couple of hours. Total exhaustion. Tractor about 20 yards away was my saviour - seemed like miles at the time - managed to crawl under it - even while he was pushing me into the ground. You have no idea how heavy he felt on me - still think about it the odd time. I bet I was right - you will not take my original advice. You might have a problem and you might not - only time will tell - but personally, I am through gambling. Stay well. Bez[/i] [/QUOTE]
