RE: My wild Bison
I used a 338 win mag, I had planed on using the 45-70 but my son had left the shells in a storage shed that I could not get to late at night.
I shot him no less than 3 times in the neck, My final shot was through both lungs, when we gutted him there was No blood in the lungs. I found only minor damage to the spine. I do not blame the bullet for the slow kill it was poor shot placement, 2 rounds went just above the spine 1 was just under. a 4th round may have been in this area but there was a lot of tissue damage and the hide was cut there.
I did get 360lbs of burger and around 80 lbs of steak and roast.

RE: My wild Bison
Congratulations, nice bull, I like your No.1 there also. I'm processing my buffalo today and cooking some for Thanksgiving. I think I'm going tostart putting in for the Wy tag. Who knows, I might get lucky.
