buffalo hunt

[Archeryresearchshooter]

hey guys im 14, and in january im goin on a buffalo hunt by missoula montana. And i was wondering what do you suggest. a 358. norma mag or a 375 h*h mag. I am about five one and a about a hundred and twenty lbs. but those are the only two guns i have to use.

I would feel comfortable shooting a .308 for bison. Remember it is all about shot placement. From the sounds of it, you are going to take quite a thrashing from a .358 or a .375 H&H Mag.

If that is what you've got and you can handle them, then I suppose either will work.

Seems like odd "only ones available" calibers for a 14 year old to be limited to. Usually such rifles are added to an existing rack of rifles as the rack reaches "maturity".

Either rifle will do the job; you have to determine which rifle you can shoot best. Good luck on your Bison hunt.

when i was 14 i got to go to africa and i shot a .375 for my rifle and i shot an elephant with it. i was a good bit bigger than you but for buffulo i say shoot which ever is comfortable

Use your bow with cut on contact broadheads. The Bison you are going to hunt are tame. Ask them if they charge extra if you pet the bison before you shoot it?
If you use a rifle? Anything chambered in 270-winchester or larger will work just fine. Your shots will be at close range.

Wolf killer that is not good advice. Have you ever hunted there? It is an 11 thousand acre ranch

ElkampMaster actually im not limited i also have a 308. 270. and 2 30-06 so im not limited i just thought shootin a huge gun would be fun.

Well I guess if you call getting your shoulder dislocated fun then... I would go with your .308 JMO...
