Apparently those semi-tame sheep that people love to shoot can hurt you. One head butted an old lady near Abilene a few weeks ago and killed her. Story here. A sad accident that honestly could happen with any kind of livestock that people raise.

But I can just see the eyes of all those overweight, lazy, stupid, exotics “hunters” light up. Now they have an excuse to buy that double barreled .416. After all one of those 100lb. domestic sheep might think you’re about to feed it and come charging in. They’d have no chance without a gun featured on Jurassic Park. Then when they get home they can tell all their buddies about what a hardcore “hunt” they had. It took 90 minutes, cost $550.00 and took place on a spacious “ranch” but I’m sure it was life altering none-the-less:

“Hunter”: Man, I’m tellin’ ya… I seen my whole life flash before my eyes…
Buddy: Whad ya do to piss it off?
“Hunter”: I done got too close to the feed bucket…
Buddy: And he went and charged?
“Hunter”: I had to give ‘im both barrels…
Buddy: It took a quarter pound of lead to stop him?
“Hunter”: I’m tellin’ ya man… hardcore…
Buddy: So then whad ya do?
“Hunter”: We went into the pen and drug him out… Gunna get ‘im mounted…
