Bruce T OP trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Northern Maine	On March 4, 1989, a racing buffalo named Harvey Wallbanger made his first appearance in California at Golden Gate Fields. Owned, trained, and ridden by T.C. Thorstenson, Harvey Wallbanger raced against a quarter horse named Two Eyed Burt, ridden by “Cowboy” Jack Kaenel. In an exciting 110-yard sprint down the stretch, the powerful buffalo edged out his competitor by half a length. The 8-year-old, 2,000-pound buffalo clocked an impressive time of 9.4 seconds, securing his 21st win in 26 races. (GGF file photo) NRA,NTA,MTA,FTA #1 goal=Trap a wolverine

Then when they get started going they can cover some country with darn few stops and cattle guards are a minor inconvenience as they can stand flat footed next to it and clear it with no problems what so ever . You're friend along the snare line . Allan
