Looks fun. No way I'd be able to do it, but fun thinking about what rifle I'd carry if I could go. I sure as hell wouldn't be carrying a Jam-O-Matic, though it clearly worked. I'm thinking Winchester 1895 .405 Win. What would you carry?

458wm Whitworth with 485 fn cast or my 760 Remington 30-06 with 220 nosler though I’d be pretty tempted to use my 220 hornady solids or at least behind that first shot Nosler.

Just got back from this hunt with Evan. Had a blast and took a big old bull that they wanted out of the herd. Wasn’t as exciting as the hunt in the video but it was still a blast.

Ping pong balls for the win.

I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

That brings back memories of reading an article by John Wootters where he and some friends had made short barrelled 458WM rifles to hunt wild bulls in the thickets along the Rio Grande. He wrote that they often had to crawl along the cattle trails to get through the thickets. They might meet a bull while on their hands and knees at the distance of a few feet.
