Seeing that Buffalo is on the very bottom of my list for North American big game animals and it would be like shooting the cattle off my friends land, I'd choose a new bow. I have no desire to take a buffalo until it's the last NA animal I would need for the slam.....

They actually have guided hunts for those super sized cows?

I'd take the bow.

The hunt will probably last one morning...and you will have to pay through the eye (extra) to keep the meat.

The bow will last a long time.

When you say buffalo you do mean the North American kind right? If you mean the African kind then I`d take the `Buf.

Dang, I'd take the Bison hunt anyday. Yes, you have to hunt them on ranches mostly, which is not the most exciting way to hunt by any means. But this is a true North American animal which deserves some respect. It was us humans that tarnished the animal.

Depends on what the new bow would be compared to your current bow. If it's not much of an upgrade then I'd take the hunt over the bow. But if we're talking a huge equipment upgrade then I'd take the bow without 2nd guessing.
