Congrats Dan! Thats top notch! Is this your first ever bison, or have you taken some previously? A bison hunt would not be a bad Idea for me if the time and money ever lined up.

Congrats again!

It was my first. Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to shoot a "buff". Really wanted to use a Sharpes SS in some huge caliber, but can't justify the price and have no long range area to shoot one here in my part of Ar.

The funny part of this story hasn't been told til now. I had googled 3-D buff targets, $2000 for full size, to find the "12" ring". Also had done some research on arrow placement posted by a recurve shooter. The guide confirmed my estimate on shot placement, but as I was holding the X hair on the imaginary "12", finger tightening on the trigger, all I could think of was the times ole Smokepole whipped my azz at 3-D shoots, lol.

I'm not sure if the shot was a "12" or a "10" but it did the job very well.
