.........we never let people around the ones that had an attitude.

Like the old, grumpy ones, you mean ??   We try to do that here in the forums, too.

I see you cherry picked the quote. I'll do the same and just use the last sentence. The kids always criticize and complain about the old people, but when things turn to crap they want our help.

It's all fun and games till you get the GOATS all riled up.


Even though it depicts violence against children,
this is hysterical  :TooFunny:

That's what's wrong with kids these days..........

I was that size 50 years ago.  I'd have been back up and REPEATEDLY had a ball bat across that goat's noggin RIGHT quick.


I got butted by a 2,000 pound Brahman bull when I was about that kids age. Four cracked ribs, one broken leg, fractured jaw, 32 stitches and a concussion.


The bull was extremely lucky that I just scraped my knee or he would have gotten it much worse.

Your showing a lot of promise Zobo. I had a battle with a stubborn black angus bull once as well. I went a different route though. Called a local butcher and then went out with a 25-06 and settled that score.

Come on " Goaties" , violence isn't always the answer. It usually is, but we cant say that anymore. Z

Having a brain causes headaches. Didnt see the point in dealing with headaches.

I like how you called the butcher first, that's confidence, that's a boss move. Reminiscent of Clint Eastwood in A Fist Full of Dollars when he told the undertaker "better get three coffins ready."

I had a very similar scenario, albeit on a much smaller scale when I was about 12.  It involved a big ole Barred Rock rooster who had a penchant for waking me up at 4:30 AM and a VERY bad attitude and a Crosman 10-pump pellet rifle. 

Same outcome as for the Angus bull.   Just a whole lot easier on the clean-up for me.

I had to execute a woodpecker once.
My wife kept waking me up saying "what's that noise?" I told her "just a little birdy go back to sleep, don't make a big deal out of it." 
THEN, later that morning,I walk outside over to the gable end of the house, look up at and see ALL the  holes in the PVC$$$ rake board!
The next thought became ....7 1/2' s or 8's? Maybe skeet 9's ... CCI mini mags?
