    To be absolutely honest, many of our jobs were crazed bulls that had escaped from abatoirs and run amock in towns. We soon learnt that Hatton rounds delivered by shotguns were the only way to stop them dead, right between the eyes..........however, you had to be very brave
    7.62 simply didnt stop them and bounced off with no effect
