John B -

Those are some pretty awesome bulls.

I dare say, though, that if you didn't have four-footed transportation you might quickly decide that a 10 pound rifle is unnecessarily heavy.

A gentleman's hunt on horse or mules is on my bucket list but for the last 30+ years I've carried my pack and rifle on my back, often doing 6-8 miles a day in and back. For me, lighter rifles are much preferred.
