Hunting from horseback

[YoungBuck14]

I've been around animals and horses my entire life. Never shot off of one, had one i would have considered training to do the job if i needed one. I've talked to one old cowboy that has shot off a horse and trained them how.

Thats the main word though is "trained". This is a long process over serveral weeks from what i've learned. Starts with someone who the horse is comfortable with holding them and a second party being 50+ yards away and shooting a couple down loaded 22 blanks pointing away from the animal. Gradually you work your way closer then when close to the horse you start over again with hotter loads or a larger caliber. Eventually you use the 22 blanks while around the horse. At this point it pretty much comes to the individual horse and you having to know enough about reading animals to judge what should come next.

Hope this helps, any more questions keep asking.
