Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rodeo gone bad in Owensboro Kentucky (video)

They are organized by some of the dumbest people you could ever meet.

Those guys you see exiting are doing so because they know the history of that bull.

Yep. Older fellow up the road got pinned in the corner of his milk barn by a Holstein bull. Lived, but never the same afterwards. BIL had a 4 yr old Holstein bull go after him and the hired man one night. Went on the trailer the next day. Anyone who has ever worked cattle on a regular basis understands how powerful they can be.

Obviously, some are. But don’t paint with too broad a brush please.

They duz like dem White Wimmen tho.

No kidding. You and me both. I don't even like working around an ornery cow, much less a bull.

I've heard about people from Kentucky but I didn't believe it until now.

SURELY, everyone has seen knoxville and co do their's

😄

But no brains.

Of course, that courtesy is only extended to the residents of certain states. (Not saying by you.)

long time ago in another life i use to work rodeo. You haven't lived tll you are perched on the top of a fence and have one of those big bulls decide to jump a five foot fence right next to you.

i was in one of those enclosures one day during a bull riding event. Made a mistake and had my back turned away from the chutes. I heard the crowd roaring, looked around and the ol bull was running full steam at me. I literally dove through those rungs and started running for the fence/stands. Bull hit the retainer and was right after me. Dang near got me. I had orange fresh paint from the fence on my shirt. Kept it for years to remind me of my stupidity.

All the contestants are from out of state. The last one standing is awarded with residency in Kentucky.

No brain, no pain.

I can't imagine being tempted to engage in such foolishness, but if I had been out there I woulda shot both of those rodeo clowns right at the start.

Yeah, that's a real popular event here in Ore-gun.

When I was a kid, we were working some cattle and a bull knocked a wooden gate off the damned hinges and it fell on top of me. So, there I am with the wooden gate on top of me with the mad bull on top of the gate stomping and pawing and trying to get at me through the gate. Couldn’t have been more than a few seconds before he lost interest and dad distracted him, but it felt like a long damned time.

Owensboro/Western Ky folks never have much for being the touchy, feelings, sensitive snowflake types. The more hard-core the event is, the bigger the crowds:

when i was a kid , the event was with a timex watch tied between the horns of the bull.object was to snatch the watch and live. i still have the timex

Those people are dumber than a bag of hammers.

The power of a bull should never be underestimated.

I watched my Uncles 2000 lb black Angus bull get in a scuffle with a Hereford bull. The Hereford was probably about 1600 - 1700 lbs. The Angus got him sideways and stuck his nose under his belly and tossed him 10 feet in the air like it was nothing. The Hereford came down on his back.

Nothing but respect from that day forward.

I can think of other things I'd rather be doing for entertainment. Pretty foolish people who were darn lucky they weren't hurt worse

Local rodeo.

There's a local character here that was riding bulls at around age 62. Last I heard anything about him, he was in rehab for alcohol and learning to walk and talk again.
