Mad Bull just before the charge
See picture #5 in this series on DG. The photo was taken by the author of the article(not me) as the bull began his move. Looks like the body language of a bull in a Spanish bullfight arena - no question of what he has on his mind! Eeker
Thank goodness for stopping rifles.

PS - where would you have placed your shot on this beastie?

When I can reach the author, I will ask him where PH Etienne actually shot to stop the charge.

Hopefully right over his Boss into the spine.

Very nice Bull!

Those horns sure look sharp. Makes parts of my anatomy quiver thinking about being hooked by them.

Personally I thought that 'article' was rather lame. Good buff photo but that is about all I can say for it.

Macd37 - thanks for loading the picture. I must be getting lazy, as I just used the link rather than figure out how to lift the picture from the other web site.

Skyline - It may that the "article" was written for an audience with little or no hunting experience. Agreed on the picture, though, that dude gave no standing broadside shot opportunity - makes me glad that I sneaked up and shot mine from behind! Wink

One of those genetically improved buff that is struggling to get up on his feet due to the weight of his head.

A proper charge is a head on with a runaway steam train.
