IIUUUUUUUUJJUUUUUU !!!!!!
Just phone me a farmer and ask me if I can do him a great favour, he told me if I can go to his farm to hunt three feral bulls that are giving him some trouble. They live in thick bush and are very spooky, he told me that when they see people they run away and that they jump the cattle fence (7 wires) like deers !!!
they have been living in this place for years and that they must be shot.
I'll sacrifice and do him not one but three favours

DAMN! Why cant terrible things like that ever happen to me!

Good luck and make sure to report back on your success!

Lorenzo,

You better take the biggest rifle you have. Good luck and enjoy.

Regards,

Terry

There ya go, rubbing in your perfect hunting life again!

i shot feral cattle 21 years ago during australias tb and brucellosis eradication campagne and they were tough bastards, my 30-06 really was not enough gun so i went for head shots after that,after which they felt the full effects of the earths gravitational pull immediately ,use something adequate ,youll feel better and give anti hunters less ammo against us!!

Lorenzo-I'm lucky too. I live very near a livestock auction barn and every now and then a cow gets away and takes up residence in the woods. They get really wild very fast and soon they are almost as hard to find as deer. They are still surprisingly tasty though, even after living in the wild for awhile. It's big job field dressing and hauling them out and a small tractor comes in handy. Good Luck and have a nice barbecue. All the Best Nech

Thank guys, I'll be taking a Ruger N�1 in 416 rigby and a custom mauser 375/338

The rifles are not mine, I've sell my 458 a while ago and my 9,3x62 is not finish yet as I'm saving money for hunting the first two weeks of june in RSA (sorry Bruz )

I'll try to shot one bull per hunt because I don't want to leave any meat in the bush.

In my country there are not feral cattle as a common thing but sometimes this things happends.

I'll try to organize it for next week as tomorrow I've a pig hunt in a tree plantation .

I promise pictures

Back in the mid to late 70's, I cowboy'ed for a living and many of the ranches had populations of wild bulls on them. (Some of these ranches were up to 50,000 acres) In those days we used to jump off of our horse and unload deer rifles into them. Some of these 2,000 Lb'ers would soak up a dozen 270 and 30.06 rounds.

Hi, just back from the pig hunt with my hands empty, maybe better to bring me back to earth.
My latest hunts were spoiling me

I'll see if now I can take a better look at those bulls.

Johan, is part of the fun and as the farmer already advice me I will not be able to try a clear head shot because of the bush, I don't want to take risks of running around the estancia behind a wounded animal.

Lorenzo, that feral cattle hunting sounds like a blast!! Save me a steak to cook around the campfire ... If it is too tough, we'll cook up some doves, instead.

Richard,
You don't happen to have a relative by the name of Ken that is a CO in high river?

Thomas,

No, I don't think so. All of my kin is from further south ... (in Alberta)

Sounds like a good treat!

Damn, the closest thing to this on my ground are some feral teenagers loitering nearby.

Lorenzo you'll enjoy a good time , and advise the bigger caliber , a friend shoot in Argentina feral cattle and feral donkeys , and a 7,65 x 54 it�s not enough , he ended with a 9,3 x 62 and 286 grains bullets , Johan it�s different deal a feral animal raised free than a cow who escapes from the farm .
Saludos
Daniel

PS Lorenzo tira bien y no rompas la entra�a aqu� casi no se consiguen

Damn, the closest thing to this on my ground are some feral teenagers loitering nearby.

Hear they're pretty good stir fried with Ferber beans, and a nice Chianti...thhp, thhp, thhp.

Lorenzo
Have you had time to bag one of the feral cows yet? That 416 No1 sounds like the rifle of choice. What bullet do you plan to use, and what is your sighting arangement, scope or irons.
Good luck sounds like fun.

If they're as tough as those running around the Rio Grand river area you'll need a couple of well placed shots.

Just remember they are cows but thye are WILD.

My friends,
Nothing yet
But as soon I've some time I'm going, the "problem" is that I'm leaving for South Africa in two weeks and I'm busy with some work.
The rigby is with iron sights and it's very accurate.

Marterius,
I'll quickly trade you one of these bulls for one of your feral teenagers

LG

NOW NOW be nice lorenzo alot of us have daughters.Hey remeber this!!!! When you go to africa and you see a animal and the ph tells you to shoot. if you dont like it DONT SHOOT.Those ph`s are not allways right.You shoot it you pay for it.

Thanks my friend, I'll keep that in mind
Good hunting
LG

Lorenzo

You will have good opertunites to hunt feral girls in RSA.

CC VERY nice.lorenzo I know you are going to have a great time.Be safe and keep well.And send us lots of photos.

Hunting Laws inside fenced areas are very good in South Africa. As you see you can even take the most dangerous things with a bow....
