At a minimum the number is 12 if you count the Hancock employees. But still good odds at a big one.

Post by: Grazer on May 23, 2012, 11:59:05 AM: They only draw 3 Hancock employees now. And the great thing about it is after talking to Clyde (Hancock security) none of the employees killed a bull last year.

They got one 2 years ago that was a beast, I believe it was in the top 10 or less for the state. I don't have a pic, sorry.
