There is a 200 acre high fenced game ranch near Houston. You order the buff you want on line, they remove the ear tag, get it cleaned up, sedated and then you drive you up to the animal so you can shoot it (unless you want the "guide" to shoot it). For the videos they Photoshop them to make it look like there were trees, grass, etc. in the pasture. I actually ordered a 54" buffalo, but they over-sedated it so I went with this one.

Mike,

You realize the PH's hate guys like you who kill the animals so quickly.....they dont get to shoot their guns!

Congrats again....makes me homesick!

Wow that's a nice buffalo! Were the bosses in fact 16 inches?

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Can you get them delivered to Kansas? Have Dugga Will Travel?

If they bring it in one of those open steel pipe stock trailers and park it in my backyard, I can just shoot it off my back porch and won't be no need to get it out of the trailer.

Let me know.

Hells bells, why go through all that trouble. Just order the "finished product" option, you pick, they kill, they skin, they mount and then you get the trophy and a signed certificate that you are a great white hunter. Quick, easy and no fuss.

I think I heard of that place. Buzz's Buffalo Bar-B-Que?

Do you have to reimburse Buzz's BB-B-Q for the cost of ammo used to shoot my buffalo?

Any good looking waitresses? Do you have to leave a tip for Buzz or the trackers? Or the waitresses?

Dude... you're my hero! Nice buff, love the bosses! And you proved buffalo can ACTUALLY be killed with a Blaser!

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
