It has been recorded. or at least I have read several different places
that quite a few groups of NA"s in Mexico and southwestern US could run
down deer on foot. Persistant I guess.
As far as wrestling a longhorn down, You can see it for yourself ,
somewhere in the west, on almost any summer evening. It's called
bulldogging, at the RO-DEE-O. With full growed bulls. The thing with
calves is to see how short a time it takes to rope and hogtie one.Even
some of the gurls do that.
