Buffalo hunt

Just got the final word, and I get to go up in north wet Nebraska on Jan.7 to a large ranch and do a little buffalo herd management. A guy up there has a group of renegade bulls and wants them eliminated, and a buddy of mine and I are taking our daughters up to go do some big animal harvesting. I had the old Sharps replica out yesterday checking sights and doing some practicing. Nothing quite as fun for shooting as them big ole buffalo guns.

that sounds like fun ., i asked santa this year for some camo stuff ...im ready for some hunting ......

Hell you don't need to drive that far....... Just shoot a few cows close to home !!! Same thing !!!

P.S. sounds like a blast have fun !!!

The other guy is going to use a 338-378 for the backup gun. His daughter and I are the ones who are going to be doing the shooting. Kind of a good feeling to have that for a back up gun. Not sure what his daughter is going to use, maybe a 30-06 or something similar. They are big tough animals, but I've seen them taken with everything down to a 30-30 with great success.

It's looking like the doors may go up after the hunt at the rate we are going now. I don't even know how long it will take for the processing, you may have to stop by this summer for a post install inspection and a steak.

I just might show up this summer for a steak and a beer!!!!
Scratch that I'll bring the beer

Always have plenty to drink and eat around here Mike. Show up any time you're always welcome.
