Hawken Buffalo

[Hatchet Jack]

Good job! Looks you had like a great hunt. Congrats to you and your friend.
Looks like the Monoflex held together pretty good. Everyone I know who uses that bullet on deer are pretty happy with them.
I would like to see what a big hunk of lead between 460-600 grains would have done on those big bulls also.

What do you figure the Weight was? They are BIG Animals for sure!

At a guess maybe 1300-500 pounds, they're big animals but apparently they do get bigger than the ones we shot.

I look forward to using it on red deer, the season for them is about done now though. I'll probably knock out the front sight and install my lee shaver before I use it again. Need to put in the tang sight but I'm a bit hesitant to drill into my stock.

Buffalo eye fillet with onion and fennel puree. Missus did her sweet potato herb and coconut chips. Kids enjoyed it which is good sign my food is edible. But then again my youngest is also fond of dirt too!

That big guy looks you have been working on his aiming but appears he may be left eye dominant!!
Congrats on a great hunt.

Everytime i hear, or think of Buffalo the 1st thing that comes to my mind is a piece i read by Robert Ruark on Cape Buffalo, ”They look at you like you owe them Money” and "use enough gun"

 

[MrTom]

Ruark's book, Use Enough Gun" is a seriously good read. I've read add re-read it three times.

Yeah he had broken off maybe 4 inches from his left side, and a couple from his right. I like that feels like it gives lots of character.

Are you a bone collector? Meaning that do you keep the horns?

Yeah I certainly do, I'm doing a euro of my two buff to go in the stairwell

Congratulation on the successful hunt!

 

[Blueridgeguy]

Congratulations! Sounds like an awesome hunt. Any info on recommended outfits would be appreciated. My wife and I are wanting to plan an Australian trip for next year (provided it opens up).

That cow had great horns. Congratulations on a successful hunt, especially with the Missouri River Hawken.

Hopefully plenty more good hunts with it to come. Deer locally have pretty much finished for the year but I'll do some fox shooting with it this summer.
