We had a hunter take a buffalo cow today with a PSE at 73 lbs with a over draw shooting a 25 inch arrow. Everything was going good until the buffalo went into a creek with twenty foot banks on both sides. What a hunt!! Five men,a Ford four wheel drive,and about two hours later we had her out and on the way to the cooler. What a hunt.

Wow, sounds like fun...how much did she weigh and where did you get her?

Just a quick post. Just returned from a bowhunt with Rodney, had a GREAT time. I owuld highly recommend this trip to anyone. It would make a great family trip. There are plenty of different animals to view, or shoot; and Rodney will go out of his way to make sure you have a great time. I AM definitely going back next winter, I have visions of Red Stag here....

Hi Big Horn Hunting 1,
I just got back from from Canuck's Dad's Buffalo ranch. They wanted a big bull taken out of the herd with bow and arrow so it wouldn't stress out the rest of the herd. I still can't believe how big that bull was. Three of us tried to set him up for pictures and couldn't do it. The bull was estimated at 2300 lbs. I've wrestled with some big Moose and they pale in comparrison. I'm really glad he didn't get into a deep gulch of some sort. The weather was -30 degrees celcius the whole time. The funny thing was when I draw my bow back one of the reference points is the fletch laying on my lip and having to hold up a bit on the shot trying to free the fletch up because it froze there. Do you have any pictures?
Take good care,

I took a 1800 lb bull with a longbow. Hit him back just a bit took tip of lung and liver. Had to track and stalk him in his bed. Put the finishing shot right where it should go. Got a cool pic of me running for cover as the bull went to his knees. They are huge animals and can move so fast. The shoulder mount sticks 40 inches from the wall.

After butchering one of these beast up you realise that the anatomy is a little different than you would think. When your thinking one third of the way up for your shot your really aiming half the way up. The area from the top of the back down to the bottom of the spine is actually about 16 to 18 inches deep with bone and muscle. So if you get a chance to shoot a Bison keep in mind that the actual rib cage area starts that 16 to 18 inches below the back line and then go for the one third up on that area. We had a splitting saw with us with a 16 inch blade and had to cut from both sides to split the back bone over the shoulder area.

Just so you can get an idea of the mass of these animals I'll post a couple of the pictures from the trip. This is a Plains Buffalo.
