    Can't remember where I heard it, but I've been told that large mammals are more sensitive to an EDW.


    I'm not interested in testing the theory.

    That’s consistent with the training Axon (Taser) provides. The more muscle you have, the more muscle gets involved in the neuromuscular incapacitation.

    The "fun" would probably have started after the ride was over. We could have tried hoofcuffing under power...

    50/50 chance the bull gets up and runs away vs. the bull gets up and gores you?

    Again, and as someone Napoleonic in stature, I'll pay for this content.

    We had a rodeo one night with a yearling bull that somehow ended up on an Interstate. The first unit that responded was flagged down by a witness on an off ramp and promptly rear ended by a motorist with resulting injuries. As senior LT I responded and was taking a statement in my cruiser while a reconstructionist worked the scene.

    Half way thru I watched a half dozen volunteer firemen run past chasing said yearling. Feeling like I’m in Super Troopers Pt III, I radioed the sergeant who was coordinating the blocking of the ramp that if the beastie tried to get on the interstate proper we needed to destroy it. “YES SIR!”

    Fifteen or twenty minutes later I hear one of our younger guys on the radio, out of breath and excited “Sarge, I got him!”. Seems my hypothetical became a kill order and our guy chased the little fellow a quarter mile up the mountain and shot it. Eight times in the head with a .40S&W. He’s a firearms instructor and hunter, apparently the immature beef was unimpressed with handgun ballistics.

    Most of the ranchers I know use .22 shotshells around bulls, if needed.
