[QUOTE="Jena, post: 64256, member: 74"] I haven't been here in ages, but I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. I had a bull that got sick and went down. It quickly became apparent that he wasn't going to be getting up again, so I was going to shoot him, rather than let him suffer (he's outside in the snow, etc). I didn't have a sentimental problem with it, as I truly believe it's the kindest thing to do, but I still couldn't do it. I stood there with the gun and kept wondering if "stuff" was going to splatter everywhere or what. I couldn't do it for this reason. So what happens? Does a hole just appear in their head and they die? Is there a mess...on the shooter? What's the best firearm to use? I got someone else to do it for me, but I was away when the deed was done. I'd like to be prepared so if I ever have this situation again, I know what to expect and can hopefully do what needs doing. Thanks Jena [/QUOTE]
