After about a mile chase we ended up down near the highway & he was all worked up & ready for a fight, he was also about to cross the main road. I drove home real quick & got my OM 45 Ruger & some 260 gr Keith's & returned to the fight. He was now backed up against some pallets in a friends yard but was about to make a run for it as I pulled in the yard. Walking up close I planted a 260 gr Keith cast bullet into the little curl just above the eye balls & his belly hit the ground so hard it was like a 20 lb cow pie from a bull Garriffe.
Max, a neighbor kid was standing there watching & I offered him $5 to find that bullet for me, he traced it down through the neck & somewhere into the body cavity but never could locate it. I would have gave up hours earlier but he wanted that $5 pretty bad so I gave it to him anyway, never did find it. That meat was so tough you couldn't cut the gravy with a chain saw, me & Danny gave it away to needy families.
We had run that bugger halfway through town, jumping fences, tearing up gardens & getting threatened by grandma's older than Hillary Clinton. There's better ways to get a good piece of beef & also a better way to test heavy cast bullets, live & learn.

That’s a classic story Dick. I have a friend who raises “bucking bulls” for rodeos. I made the mistake of buying some heifers from him one time. A fence meant nothing to them. I got them all caught but one and she ended up in a pasture with NO WATER for over a week. Id see her every day but if you even looked that way she would disappear into a plum thicket. Don’t know how she survived without water for so long. I think I finally got her caught with cubes in a trap……in the dark.
