Very interesting thread.

I've never seen these pix before, but they show EXACTLY what my old mobile butcher recommended to me should I ever have to shoot mean beef cattle that are coming for me.

This event in fact occurred a few years ago as I have posted elsewhere. Just as he said, I held for "Dead Center, Two Inches Lower Than a Line Drawn Between Its Eyes". He explained that when a bovine really means it, it comes with its nose pointed at the intended target, with head lifted as in a position nearly the same as these skull pictures show.

Anyway, at the shot, the big cow went down like Clinton's pants at a Mary Kay Convention. IMMEDIATELY!

On later examination, the bullet was found to have entered just under the nose bone, thru the cartilage just as the pix show {cartilage is missing in the pix} but at a very-slightly different angle, as it pulped many vertebrae and was found in the top of the shoulder, having penetrated a measured 24 inches. It is possible the bullet changed some slight angle.

That butcher's recommendation has always had me wondering if sometimes, the shots reported as "right between the eyes" will turn a buff {but not stop it}, a buff tha doesn't "mean it" {as he is merely "investigating" at a jog or even run} whereas the ones that are really coming full bore will take such a shot without notice, the difference being the angle of the heads; pointed somewhat down when merely checking things out, pointed straight out when aggressively charging.

Comments?

{PS: That mobile butcher uses a .30-30 and has stoped a number of flat out mean beef steers, bulls and cows. No bosses, but mean cattle just the same and some range to a ton or more. And many of the ones he is called in on are ornery and won't load anyhow. I've never used a .30-30 for such work and wouldn't, but he has never yet had a failure. Sometimes, if possible, he is standing behind the corral fence, other times in full "naked" view!}
