Second Buffalo

Got this youngster the other week. CVA .54" Mountain Rifle, patched roundball - pure lead this time.

That sure is a BIG youngster. Congrats :hatsoff:

Wow lots of meat there. Congrats.

WHEN AND WHERE IS THE BAR-B-Q

Congratulations Ben! :hatsoff: Looks like the pure lead ball did the job.

Congratulations Ben! Looks like you ventilated it a couple times. :haha:

Quite an animal, Skychief

Should've let him grow another year....

Totally joking.

Absolutely awesome for you man!

Serious hauling there bud, no squirrels your way ??

Well done you. Did you use a double ball load?

Hi Ben,

gratulation to Down Under for this nice Buff

may you tell us load, distance and if you got a pass through shot....

thx for sharing

Klaus :hatsoff:

Cheers, lads. 100 grains of Alliant Black MZ (can't get the real stuff where I am). Certainly no pass-through shots. Got to about forty-five metres, I think, and waited for him to present leg-forward. Hit a little high, but still really put the hurt on him, and he didn't go very far at all. Some follow-up shooting, and he was down and dead. One insurance shot was an emphatic spine shot (he was already down, and really snapped around); the final, unnecessary, shot was through the top of his head and into his brain.

Best answer I ever saw to the people who ask if their .54 with a mere round ball is adequate for deer or elk. :haha:

Congratulations! :hatsoff:

Wow! That's a heavy duty buffalo!! :hatsoff:

How are the younger buffs of AUS to eat???

yours, satx

The young ones are best, however we also eat the old ones. The secret is to let the meat rest for some time, and then use a slow cooker. If frying, don't over-cook it. We get really good food from buffalo.

THANKS.

I didn't know if the feral buss were like beef or not & thought I'd better ask.
(My experience in SE Asia was that NOBODY ate buffs, as they were too valuable & therefore easy to sell as breeding stock, draft animals for agriculture & fertilizer for rice paddies, etc..)

Did the Asian buffs get imported to AUS as "game animals", as our Russian Boar were >100 years ago OR were they brought in for draft animals OR for some other reason?

yours, satx

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Congrats.Well done :hatsoff: Griz

Never regretted getting a .54! No buffs here but glad on ya for yours :thumbsup:

Hey, g'day! The British brought a few over for their fort in 1825 or so. They had them for meat and for plowing, etc. They had to abandon their fort - just too hard. So they let the small herd go into the bush, where they thrived.

Good job. :thumbsup:
