Title: Light versus dark
Post by: Encore 280 on November 21, 2011, 02:11:53 PM: Light colored cow = old cow. Dark colored cow = young cow. Is that right or other way around? Don't want a tough old one. :bdid:

No, shoot a middle of the pack.
Yes, shoot the the front runner. The others will stop because the brains of the operation just fell over. :chuckle:
