Looked up from the computer this morning and this guy was walking up the driveway......good thing I had my 416 close by!

The perfect test for those cape buffalo loads I've been working on!!



No, I didn't shoot him......but the thought did cross my mind several times!!!

and with a couple natural aiming points!!

jeffe

BOOM !

Yesterday I was out sweating and trying to sight in the 416 Rem and kept hearing two bulls fighting over the hill. Thinking it was just my one of my bulls arguing over the fence, with a neighbors bull, I waited til I was done shooting to investigate.

Yep, there was my bull and a neighbors bull fighting right in the middle of the pasture.

I stood there quite a while with the loaded gun talking myself into not shooting the PIA.

So today I get to go build fence and try to find a neighbor that will claim the extra bull.

I told my wife I needed my 416 taylor for keeping the elephants out of the garden.

She said we do not have any elephants in the the garden.

I said see it is working very well.

Whoa there son, your invading my territory, that animal was made to rope not shoot! If he shows up around here I'l saddle up old Puerco (Porky in Spanish) and drag that big Bull back to his pen or to the sale barn and make a few bucks, then go to jail for rustling!! Yeee hawww

P dog,

I had to get a 416 taylor, the a 458 win, then a 505. I just keep moving up to keep the fear in them.

Yep, unless Porky is really something like a Ford SuperDuty, this bull wasn't going to be dragged anywhere....led, maybe, dragged, no way.......

Lucky for the bull......he wasn't aggressive......the first time he charged me in my own yard would have been the last, the 416 would have ended that nonsense quickly!!

Now you guys don't even know Porky, he isn't even a big horse but I guarentee you he would jerk that bull off his feet and has done so on several ocassions, he has also pulled them into a stock trailer..Yep he is a Ford SuperDuty..Apparantly there are no cowboys on this forum!

May not be any cowboys, but there sure ain't no shortage of !!!

My horse is branded HONDA.

I was working in Ft Payne and camped on site several years ago. It was an ALDoT project, but nobody told the guy who was leasing the pasture we were digging up, so he still grazed cattle there. The cows would lick dew off our tents and trip (that is: pull up) guy lines and tent pegs and "moo" at night and do all kinds of things that really pissed me off. There was a bull among them and that is when I bought a Mossberg 590 and several boxes of rotweil 3" mag 1 5/8 oz slugs. I never got, er, "had" to shoot it but I wanted to. .416 Rigby sounds even better.

I would throw gallon jugs of water drained from my cooler at them if they woke me in the night and even had a stare-down with the bull for it, but he never gave me a good excuse. So the only revenge I got was on all-you-can-eat steak night at the local restaurant.

Needless to say, i am all for shooting livestock, and would happlily belt one with my shotgun (slugs), 45-70, 45 Colt, or Heavy 20.

Ray: Are you joking? You had a hard time roping Walther!
