[QUOTE="fta0303, post: 3017113, member: 43503"] My father and his family were stockmen, running a meatpacking company in Portland, Or in the early 1900's. One of teh things I was taught about stock is that any of them can kill you. They're all big, strong, hard as a rock, and mostly pretty quick. Domesticated, yes, but a streak of the wild runs through all of us. We all have a picture in our mind of a cowboy carrying his '73 Colt. He had a reason: protection against stock gone wild. Elmer Keith demonstrated it once, fell off his horse, foot tangle in the stirrup, horse runnin at top speed through the woods, as only a spooked horse can. Elmer saved himself; pulled his 44 and shot the horse. A man near our home in Central Washington kept a few head of buffalo as a novelty - one of them went mad one morning and killed him. A neighbor stepped into his pasture where he kept a mule - the mule went nuts and nearly killed him. Stock animals can be dangerous, a wise man carries his large caliber pistol. [/QUOTE]
