Here is a bull I tried killing yesterday.  Got within 20 yds of him 4 times but couldn't get the camera right or the brush was too thick.

Why do you need the camera right to kill him?  :dunno: Just shoot him already and take pics/film later.  :twocents:

That video was taken when he was 100 yds away.

The video needs to be professional quality. Working on a new venture with the video  ;) :tup: :tup:

Well, you're showing more restraint than I'm capable of.  :chuckle:  Will be looking forward to seeing the "new venture".  :tup:
