Ha no matter how much giggle juice i get in i will still decline the offer to wrestle the buff - ill wrestle the buff with a 500gr solid or a barnes tsx but with me bare hands no way.

Damn nice bull! Congratulations! There have been some fantastic deals in the late season for those that can take advantage of them.


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!

YEEP and Aubrey and Steve have some of the best deals around right now. On top of that there are both stand up guys. You know exactly what your getting and at what price no hidden BS.

It was in the mid 80's F (26-28C). One day it was 97F with 45% humidity. Can you say "sweat"?

Fantastic Buffalo - congratulations. This is an example of the kind of buff we all would love to harvest, great spread, heavy boss and deep drops.

What a great buffalo. If I can only get one I hope it's like yours.

That Buffalo is absolutely picture book! Beautiful drop and curl. I hope to be able to pull the trigger on such an animal one day.
