Buffalo hunt....
Have any of you ever been Buffalo hunting? If so could you provide any details/particulars of your experience? I'd really like to harvest one within the next year.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Buffalo hunt....
nah never got one....but had a great buffalo burger at cabelas....LOL....i am thinking you are going to need a fairly large caliber....300 mag or 7MM at least to drop one.

OK ROBBER Of THE CRADLE...
I have HUNTED and photographed Cape Buffelo in the wild...
my advise, don't get to close to the head when they are standing up...
OH ! study up on the bone structure of the head in case your heart/lung shot is not sucessful...that knowledge could save your life. (very thick skulls, deflection of the bullet very possible)

Yeah, but I was drunk. They're real easy to "take down" and super easy to get to a quiet place to do your work. You know, skinning it and all.
I didn't eat any of it. After awhile it started to smell and I think it still had some urine in it's bladder because when I reached between it's legs it leaked a ton of pee.
That was all I needed to see/feel, so I just left it on the table for the next guy. I guess I should have warned him the meat was rotten.

North American Buffelo are not wild in the same context of WILD ANIMALS...instead of killing one while it just stands there why don't you go Bow Hunting for a Grizzly or Polar Bear, you know show your balls on something thrilling..

Might be a place to start...never looked at Cabela's site other than to buy gear. They might have an outiftter link. Maybe give a call to the state game commission that you are looking at going to and they might be able to direct you.

That sounded like something from "Deliverance 2: The Crisco Chronicles" |
