tuck1 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I totally agree with the above. There's a picture of me sitting on the back of a Highland bull, I'm less than 2 years old. But they aren't all good. I've known a few cranky Aberdeen Angus. I was once feeding 3 which were in a field together on my uncle's stud farm. I went in through the gate, bucket in hand, as I did every morning. Fed them, turned my back for a second... Next I knew I was in the air! I went back over the now closed gate, and was lucky enough to land on my feet. I gave a nonchalant nod to my mate, who was watching from the Suzuki, and sauntered back to the house for a change of undies... I had another uncle killed by a bull. As has been mentioned, cows can be as bad. My brother in law was recently trampled when running with his dog, was lucky to get away with cuts and bruises. I used to work with a Belgian Blue which could only be described as a ****. It would bite, kick, anything it could. Beware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEFTY478 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I crossed plenty of fields with cows, calfs and single bulls when patrolling rural areas over in N Ireland. A lot of the young bullocks followed us, not threatening just curious, but would often try eating our webbing. I was never charged by a cow or a bull but I did stories about some lads that did. And we always, always kept at least one pair of eyes on them, especially bulls. If we had of been charged though, I would have tried getting over a fence or through a hedge if I had been able to escape, but I was more than ready to empty a full magazine or a belt from the GPMG into anything that had decided I was a threat. It might have spoiled a farmers day, but it wouldn't have ruined mine, permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning GTS Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Alot of my shooting is around livestock, to date ive never had any trouble with bulls, in fact the only time i did have trouble was a few years go when walking the dog through a field full of cows with caves and they went mad, in the end i picked up the mut and hide him under my coat and luckly they calmed down straight away. This does not always happen if the cattle are used to seeing people most times they just ignore you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night shooter Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 If you are ever so unluckey to get caught out never turn your back and run. always face and move back. and if they do charge never run in a straight line even the biggest fattest bull will catch you 99 times out of 100. Unless your a few yards from a fence. In my experience with nasty bulls keep them turning, follow there **** and they soon get tired of chasing you round in circles.
