My bull is bigger, but then again so am I  :-\

My bull has horns  :o

The Pincus obviously has more to protect on his face and between his ears than me ... They didn't even offer me a helmet  :-\

Four seconds there and four seconds here - Finally a sport I am as good at as Mr. Pincus  ;D

I was given a 9.5 for my dismount as opposed to his "getting stomped."

And look, there are even rodeo clowns. Let's see, 3 on the right, one on the bull . . . .  ::)  :o

You are a much braver man than I, Gunga Din! I'll watch others riding, not sure that I would ever get on one these days.

Same here............tried it several times in my younger (skinnier) years and barely made it out alive....after that I said "hell no" since they wouldn't let me carry my .45.   ;D

If I could even get aboard one these days my nickname would just be "The Back-Breaker"......... I can hear the comments from the arena now, "Darned bull just sat down and went to sleep".

If I remember right, the Bull is supposed to snort in anger, not groan in pain .
Tequila for the rider, Doan's for the Bull.    ;D

Its something everyone should do once. Once! The thing is you learn three things. 1) bulls are big and scary up close and only a jackass (like you), pisses one off by getting on top of it voluntarily. 2) Newton is a bastard of the first order, 3) chicks (at least in Tx.) actually do tend to listen to you whenyou  explain you are limping cause you got thrown by a bull. However, they also tended to listen if you were buying the drinks and its a lot less painful. ;D

The guys I used to run with were just plain afraid that if the ride was too bumpy, I'd pop a cap right into the back of the slobbery SOB's noggin'.

Peg, you wouldn't get the chance. I asked one of the guys as I was in the chute "how do I get off after the whistle blows"? His answer, "Don't worry, it won't be a problem (right before the gate opened :o)". Thing is, he was right. ;D

Maybe...maybe not...... I once shot a dog while being thrown from a bucking horse.   :-[

FQ13

It was a feral dog that came charging out of the woods and spooked the horses while several of us were out riding rural dirt roads years ago. Every time I thought I had the horse calmed down it would act up again and the dog wouldn't let up. Long story short, I was flung sideways off the horse on the same side where the dog was and it was just a 'gut-reaction' to draw my side arm. I really didn't consciously realize I had already shot before/as I hit the ground, but that is what the others said I did. Anyway, I tucked and rolled and when I came up on one knee with the gun pointed at the dog, he was on his side doing an impersonation of Angus Young. So I finished him with another shot.

And for the record, I make no claim what-so-ever that it was skill......it was purely luck.......(but I have made some lucky Bob Munden-style shots in my life).



*Note: We notified animal control and had the carcass picked up for rabies testing and the dog wasn't rabid.....maybe it was just my cologne.  :-\

Now that would make a fine YouTube video, Peg.

The shot might have been lucky, but all the reactions to the situation was pure skill.

What a show off  ;D ;D

I wonder how many hits it would get?   ;D  ;D  ;D

Well, I guess it does sound skillful when typed out or spoken at the grill or campfire.....but I expect it wasn't pretty to see......it surely wasn't pretty to feel, as I was stoved-up for a few days to boot.

I will admit that it was back when ammo was cheap and I shot several hundred rounds two to three mornings a week (worked the graveyard shift and had the range to myself any day of the week).

I couldn't help but notice that only ONE of the bull riders pictured in this thread had enough sense to wear something to protect his thinking thing.  ;D

And one doesn't have a "thinking thing."  That is proven by the company he keeps  ;D

Well, let us be realistic here....if one decides to climb onto a bull, use of the 'thinking thing' has entered into a state of suspension.....   ;D


*And, yes, I admitted to doing it years ago (not using my 'thinking thing')......but my ignorant ass was summarily educated in the mechanics of bull riding and the lesson stuck.   ;)
