Bill Pickett
Bill Pickett (1870-1932) was a cowboy with a very particular talent:
“He invented the technique of bulldogging, the skill of grabbing cattle by the horns and wrestling them to the ground. Pickett’s method for bulldogging was biting a cow on the lip and then falling backwards.”
He worked his way up from performing at county fairs to touring with the Wild West Show. He was eventually kicked to death by a horse.
