Thread: Buffalo with a compound bow.

Damm my internet struggles with video.I shot my first buffalo with a bow in 1978. The shop in Darwin that sold bow hunting gear said I was the first to do it. I stalked to 30 yds of a group of cows and yearlings picked a good eater and put a arrow in just behind its shoulder with a Jennings sidekick 70LB ,cedar shaft and Bodkin head.There was allmost no reaction from the buff to the hit, but a mate saw the shot from about 100 yds behind me yelled out "You got him" and ran towards us and the herd bolted. I put 3 more arrows into it but the first shot was the killer. My wife to be, was ready with a 44 mag as backup if needed but it all went well and the meat was GOOD!



I regret not shooting this white one, the white horns would have been good in the man cave.

Thats much better. No hooplah american style bullshit and making it into something that it wasn't. Good straight up real kiwi stuff.
Grab a bow, go and do it. And have the chick as a back up.
