Shot placement helps, but if you get it right they drop on the spot.

I shot one with a 50 caliber. It took three shots to kill it...

It was dead on the 1st hit. It just didn't know it yet.

Just shoot them one time. It is really all it takes.

I would very much like to try that round, no doubt I would prefer it also.

I saw a herd of about 40 cows the other day. Higher on the hill were 4 bulls. Should I be worried?
