My theory worked - the sooner we ate or gave away meat from the first buffalo hunt two years ago, the sooner we could go again. We wanted a meat bull this time - already have a head, so this one was to restock the freezer. It was on 4000 acres in the Nebraska sand hills and completely grass fed. The guide was adamant that I shoot it in the ear due to some dangerous situations he had been in recently with wounded buffalo. So I sighted the rifle one last time in the morning before we went out. My shot was near enough to the ear that he went straight down. I used a Shiloh Sharps 16# bull barrel 50-90 ordered to look exactly like a buffalo rifle from back in the day. It has a Distant Thunder Sharps Sporter tang sight that Jim made for me. I used a 600 grain flat nosed bullet over 98 grains of Swiss 1.5.

Any pictures of your buffalo?

Did you notice it says "Ex member" by his name? Doubt he's going to answer questions.

But "ex-member" means he wont see it, and even if he did he can't reply.
