[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1743346, member: 6291"] Some thing that I failed to mention is the original reason for carrying my 30-30. When I was a kid my family use to just let cows stay on the property basically until they died. It was not uncommon to come across and old cow down, especially in the winter. I always hated the thought of coyotes and stuff getting them when they were down. I would much rather just out them out of their misery. We also had some pretty bad cattle. I had to put 2 down after breaking out of the pens and charging every one. I had a big F1 bull that stuck his horns it the corner of some pens with cattle pannel welded to pipe. He made a hole and went out. I was grabbing for my gun as he was clearing a 5 strand fence that made a trap on the back side. He was making a dead line for the neighbors and I was going to run him down and put a bullet in he before he got there. Luckily some cows were to the right on our property still and he jumped another fence to go to the cows. They make for some interesting stories but I'm glad those days are over. [/QUOTE]
