steak has come for revenge

eEt moRe Led!

I call bull!

Was the kid's name Wirt?

Wtf caliber gun was he using? A 22? fail

OBBN: When I was a kid, I grew up on some acreage and we had 4 cows. I will never forget when it came time to butcher the oldest one. The butcher guy my dad hired came out to our house and "boom, headshot" our cow "Steaks" was on the ground. The other 3 cows wouldn't come near us for about a week. My dad grew up on a farm, but it was all new to mom and I. The first dinners were a bit hard to get down, but after the first few it was no problem. It was really strange thinking about it now, getting "Steaks" as a calf and caring for her and watching her grow up, give birth and eventually we ate her. But, I suppose beef has to come from somewhere. People today are so far removed from the process.

Okay, I am done rambling. The story just brought back some childhood memories. I do miss our small farm, the animals, the garden and such. I spent my whole early adult life trying to get away from that life and i am spending the rest of my life trying to get back to it.

Never make friends with your food

In critical condition after being hit in the shoulder by a ricochet bullet? Wow, must have hit something important... Maybe next time they will use a gun with a more powerful round, to avoid such incidents like this.

Having been hit by a reverse ricochet (it's kinda fun to see the medical people run around when you say "I have a gunshot wound") I'm gettin a kick etc....

A bigger round could ruin the meat if it penetrates deeper. This sounds like the butcher didn't hit it square and the teen was a too close to the action.

I tend to sit behind somebody shooting so that this can't happen.

FTFA: "the cow did not die from the initial gun shot, but was later shot dead by police."

CSB time: I remember an incident that happened to us one night when we plowed into a cow standing in the middle of the road on our way out to San Diego from Phoenix. When the sheriffs arrived at the accident, they decided it would be best to put the cow out of its misery by shooting it with a shotgun. After they had finally figured out how to get the farking 12 gauge out of the trunk of one of the squad cars, they cocked and fired. Unfortunately for the cow and our poor ears, the round they fired (at its head) was a non-lethal beanbag round. That was one unhappy bovine.

/I'll never forget the noise.
//Yes, the cow was soon mercied with a deputy's .45

Cows with Guns?

I don't believe the cow, it's all bull.

Explains the ricochet. Here's your sign.

He said police had not alerting the SPCA

I'm guessing the bullet hit one of the subclavian arteries. These supply the blood to the arms.

As for the caliber, .22 caliber bullets have been used to kill cattle for generations. You just have to know how to do it. Done right, it's like flipping a switch.

You don't want to use anything bigger or more powerful because you don't want the bullet to exit the head. That of course can be dangerous.

Why? Assuming you are firing from the side of the cows head and at a downward angle I don't see the problem.

Slaughterman would be a great last name.

This is what I use for all my cow-killing needs.

Dead cow and ground beef all with a single shot. Now that's efficiency!

You're doing it wrong.

That's like a superpower.

What is the obsession with cows?

Came here for this. Leaving satisfied but wondering why it took 30 posts.

Seems like something strange to be contrarian about . Have you shot a lot of cows and are speaking from experience ?

dude...totally thought the same thing, glad someone else was on the same page.

still laugh when I think about that scene...

/even funnier is later in the movie, when the police chief says "'He shot a prize cow six times in the head, poor thing's lucky to be alive." HAHA.

Do you understand what a ricochet is? If done properly, a .22 has almost zero chance of one, and you get the bonus of no messy exit wound. If you use a larger caliber, you don't know where bullet and bone fragments are going.
In this case, either the shooter didn't know what he was doing, or he got lazy and wasn't paying attention.

I'm betting he got lazy. But maybe the cow jerked away at the last second? or maybe the cow just had an extra hard skull? Aussies grow'em tough, I guess.

Could have been worse. (new window)

A police spokesman said the cow did not die from the initial gun shot, but was later shot dead by police.
wut?

Wanted for questioning?

Goes down as one of his best movies, that scene plus the chicken head scene are just pure comedy gold.

OBBN: When I was a kid, I grew up on some acreage and we had 4 cows. I will never forget when it came time to butcher the oldest one. The butcher guy my dad hired came out to our house and "boom, headshot" our cow "Steaks" was on the ground. The other 3 cows wouldn't come near us for about a week. My dad grew up on a farm, but it was all new to mom and I. The first dinners were a bit hard to get down, but after the first few it was no problem. It was really strange thinking about it now, getting "Steaks" as a calf and caring for her and watching her grow up, give birth and eventually we ate her. But, I suppose beef has to come from somewhere. People today are so far removed from the process.

Okay, I am done rambling. The story just brought back some childhood memories. I do miss our small farm, the animals, the garden and such. I spent my whole early adult life trying to get away from that life and i am spending the rest of my life trying to get back to it.

I grew up on a farm, so the whole cycle was pretty familiar to us at an early age. One year, however, my uncle (not a farmer) bought a little Jersey calf from somebody for some reason and brought it out to the farm to be a bottle calf. We didn't have a dairy farm, so a Jersey was pretty much useless to us. We fed it anyways, and it became kind of a pet. My little brothers named him Sam. He ran around the farm for over a year, like a big dog. We would ride him around, pet him, etc. Then one day the old man had had enough of feeding the freeloading critter and decided it was time for the butcher. He had started life as a runt and never really became anything that you would want to make steaks out of, so he went entirely into hamburger. I had never felt bad about eating meat before, but the first couple of "Samburgers" that we ate were a little sad.

/CSB

FTFA:The spokesman said the slaughterman did not kill the animal with a second shot because he was concerned about his assistant.

Can't abide a man that doesn't finish what he started.

Okay, one more cool story, bro. We had a cattle pot rollover on interstate a couple of years ago, and the FD got called out to free the cattle from the trailer, keep them off of interstate, and round up the ones that had wandered off before we got there. Of course, a few were injured or killed, and there was one that needed to be put down (broken back, if I remember correctly). I watched a highway patrolman strut over to do the deed with his pistol. He put about 3 rounds into her forehead and she just looked at him. Then a sheriff's deputy went and got the small rifle they use to put down injured deer along the road and tried to kill her. No luck. Finally one of the farmers on the department grabbed the .22 out of his pickup, put it behind her ear, and put her out of her misery. Cow skulls are very thick and incredibly hard, and you aren't going to penetrate them with small caliber rifles or handguns. I felt sorry for the cow, but it was fun watching the cocky state cop fail.

would have thought this would be here by now.

That looks like it might just be slightly for fun to shoot than the bolt action verision of the Barrett I played with.

ruin the meat? Your shooting it in the head at close range, not taking it down from 1000 yards. I have never lived on a farm, but I am pretty sure you could decapitate the thing with a well placed hit from a speeding Buick and the meat will still be fine.

The Bluegrass viper is another nice 50 cal.
