Big difference between trophy hunting and hunting for meat.

Went thru that with a horse that broke thru a fence one time. Damn that horse could run and jump. A big young race horse. $25,000 horse. Was blocked in an alley by pickup trucks. Jumped the trucks. Someone did get a rope around it's neck. Jerked it right out. Police cars and people in 4X4s chasing, fearing it'd run out on the highway causing an accident as it ran thru alleys and the railroad tracks a block over. Able to jump short fences, the vehicles simply couldn't follow, people scrambling to try to figure where it was off to.

An older fellow who always had raised horses, a rancher, finally convinced the police and everyone of the obvious solution.

Just stop chasing it. "Leave it alone and it will go home. Its running because you're chasing it."

About a quarter hour later like appearing out of nowhere it strolled back thru the fence it has busted and headed straight for the water trough.

Yeah, chasing a cow with sirens running and shooting at it will have it keep running. But it was probably an exciting chase.

My first though was... why the **** are they chasing it!!
 
So the cow escapes a slaughter house only to be frantically chased and killed by cops? What about tranqs? Animal control doesn't have any? This cow deserved a meadow...

Far be it for me to throw any stones in this thread.....
 
At first, I thought Pocatello's, Portillo's, the beef bomber sandwich place, cow was pissed that it was going to end up on someone's sandwich, then I had another cup of coffee and open my eyes wider, and re-read the thread title, and dug further into the story.

I'd thought the person typing the OP somehow misspelled Portillo's, but that was not the case.

Anyway, after reading another story about this enraged cow, it was clearly easy to see why it went on a rampage and rammed police cars, it was wounded. What happens when you wound an animal that is out of control to begin with? I get's even more pissed off.

Thankfully, no people were injured in this roundup.

When we take a deer, we thank the deer for his or her sacrifice and God for the blessing of food for the freezer.

I always pray for a quick, clean death.

Exactly. I've killed 2 this last month, one deer and a pig. The deer took about 5 jumps, about 30 feet and dropped dead. The pig took a close range shot down thru the front of the brain (dead already, just didn't know it) had it's throat cut and was bled out in about 15 seconds. Pigs (and cows) are interesting that way. If you take out the front of the brain they are dead. You will get no stimulus response, but the heart is controlled at the base of the brain so a quick cut will allow the heart to pump out most of the blood.

I like young, tender ones so, if they happen to have a nice rack fine but, it's not the objective.

Yea, normally we hunt with a couple of different people so we can't just run down to the pasture and retrieve the animal. But it usually doesn't sit for long.

The last one I shot [an Axis] didn't bleed at all as I broke it's neck with a bullet passed clear through.
