I saved a life today

A Colorado and a length of chain would got the poor bugger out.

Just make sure those horns are rated recovery points

Just make sure those horns are rated recovery points 

they're not rated so make sure you use a bridle

You sure it wasn't a trap set by a NZ born neighbour?

Wrong end sticking out

LOL

My offsider was a farmer - first up I thought we would pop the poor things head off when we pulled it out by the horns then it seemed really weak.  Farmer grabs it and drags it really roughly to its feet and then it up and ran.  He reckons they can just lay there and die of shock if you dont get them moving.  cheers

Sounds about right.  They get this "I'll just lay here and die" attitude, stand em back up and they run off again, leave em there and they'll be good on their word fairly often.

Well done getting him out in time, how big was he?  Bit hard to tell in the photos, I'd hate to be trying the same with the buggers at home, I'd be needing the Colorado and a chain, a few of them are over 120kg, one around 150kg, I don't think they'd get down the hole, and if they did wouldn't survive long hanging from the horns.

Nice work Dazzler. He certainly looks like he was having a baaaaaad day before you came along.

...when all they wanted to do was leap out and rap themselves around my boss' neck. 

Yo - Fo' Shizzle the WEST SIDE, homie!!!???
