Mr Doodles and I

Well we are the only ones in our family or group of friends that are PBR  fans.  Now folks I'm talking BULLS  not   BEER. That would be Professional Bull Riders.

If you have never seen  a cowboy ride a bull you are missing out.  I know this sport is not for everyone.  But when you witness the rider say  5' 10", 140 lbs
get on a bull say oh 1500 lbs and the rider stay on for the required 8 seconds You know you have watched something special even historic.

This cowboy did just that and rode the most popular bull in the history of the sport.  That bull is eight year old Bushwacker and a handsome bull he is.   There have been 42 other riders try to ride this bull.  Actually the rider that conquered Bushwacker has tried nine other times.

Ya really gotta be in good shape mentally and physically to get on the back of one of these beasts.

Congratulations J B Mauney

                            You are one hell of a bull rider!!!

Bushwacker you are one special bull!!

That's a very long time  to hold a rodeo, but the very fine folks of Gunnison Colorado have done just that.  Cattlemen's Days is a week long event ending with the rodeo.

                                         My boots need a good cleaning

                                              a patriotic beginning
