RE: Buffalo Down
The 'hunt' was more of a meat 'hunt' so there is no real good story as far as a stalk or anything like that is concerned. I got to within 20 yards of a big Cow (since I was mainly going after the meat) and sunk a Montec G5 in to her right side. She ran up through the heard about thirty yards and came back towards me and the guide.She thenoffered a shot at her left side and the only other braodheads I had in my quiver were Rage two blades. I told the guide I was going to stick on of those in her left side to get her down quicker and he said "betyou a dollar it wont go through her". I let one fly and she snapped my arrow in two when she started to run again. It did put a 2 inch hole in the side of her just behind the shoulder but only penetrated about 5 inches. I could hear her breathing out of the holeso I knew I made a good lung shot. She went down just about a minuteafter that. Thats when the guide talked about the Rage loosing the most animals (not just buffalo).I took one of the tenderloins straight to the deer lease after the hunt and grilled it up there. If you have never tasted Buffalo then you have been missing out. It is delicious.
