It looks good

From this vantage point this steer wrestling run looks like money-in-the-bank for 150 Mile House steer wrestler Mike Hurst.

With fire in his eye and a steely determined look on his face it looks as though the steer doesn’t have  a chance of not going down, but what could have been, maybe should have been, ended with, no-time.

Somehow this steer slipped from the grasp of the burly steer wrestler before he could be thrown, adding insult to injury, it then slowly trotted off down the arena to the catch-pen.

The action took place during the Sunday performance of the Esk’et (Alkali Lake) Rodeo, under sunny skies in front of many knowledgeable rodeo fans who groaned in unison as the steer made its get-away.
