Bison vs 45-70 Govt. Buffalo Bore ammo

[vcupiano]

man that was close that Bison almost got ya

[GUMMYBEAYUH]

I've had a Buffalo burger before, and I must say that it was mighty fine eating. My Old man has an original U.S. Government issue Springfield Cavalry carbine .45-70, breech-loading, and the last time he fired it back in the 60's he blew a four-inch tree right in half, lol.

[xxxCRAZYLOVExxx]

@GUMMYBEAYUH Trees weren't as strong back in the 60's.

[Kurac80]

hahah the guy in front of the camera half way through the video looks like a Taliban!!!

[deadtofall666]

pretty amazing on that first shot u could difinately hear the round hit hard

[BC9696]

@deadtofall666 Yeah but the second round caught the neckbone dead center and blew it out the other side which is what picked it up and threw it like a rag doll. Would have preferred a one shot kill but with an animal this big, that's often not the case.

[deadtofall666]

@BC9696 oh difinately i have shot a few moose with various calibers large and small and i have found its pretty uncommon for them to just drop in their tracks in one shot let alone a bison that large. How much did it weigh on the hooks?

[BC9696]

@deadtofall666 2009lbs and taken in 2009 which is pretty cool. Got 511lbs of meat and still have a freezer full (filled a few of em up).

[deadtofall666]

@BC9696 thats incredible! 2 years ago my partner got a bull moose that weighed 812lbs on the hooks (bone included) who the hell knows what that thing must have weighed alive.

[firetoy911]

I raised some beefalo calves once when I was a kid. They were the slowest growing things I ever had. My dad's neighbor got out of cattle ranching though about ten years ago and now just has pure buffalo. He had to change all his fences and his corals are solid steel panels instead of the regular powder river panels b/c the buffalo get pretty aggressive and just tear stuff apart. He sells buffalo meat commercially now and also has one of those meat stands at fairs/rodeos around WA state

[BC9696]

@firetoy911 Cowfalo...that's just wrong. LOL

[nowhere991]

I am a Native Am., however my brother and I bagged a grizzly in Montana years ago. I struck the bear w/ a PSE 70lb draw in the vital shoulders w/ Nugent broadhead. "Bam"! It turned on us up hill, Scary! We both fired our 44 mag. handguns through sagebrush & "silent". Yeah.... real close....

Etta boy Bruce

[LoCo8NiKkA]

Were can you hunt bison? I am native american and I love the taste of buffalo meat haha, and I kinda really have wanted to hunt a buffalo for a while

[BC9696]

@LoCo8NiKkA Bison populations have been successfully restored in many states & hunts of every kind are available. I chose Utah because they & Colorado have the purest strain of No. Amer. bison (98%) in the country. Utah issues 44 annual tags...or you can hunt a private ranch but it gets pricey. Check the DNA...in some southern states they hunt cowfallow (50% beef) & the meat is NOTHING like real bison. Yellow fat + grass fed, white fat is grain fed, the grass fed bison taste best.

[spookypunky]

What rifle/pistol did you use for this kill? Marlin 1895?

[BC9696]

@spookypunky See description.

[spookypunky]

@BC9696 Uh, I see the date.. Could you humor me? I'm not too computer savvy....

[BC9696]

@spookypunky Under the date, click on "Show more"

[dirkbikeman1001]

Bison are my favorite animals. I love how peaceful and huge they look. I decided that I would never hunt one of these, not that im criticizing you. I love hunting. Cool video, and congratz!

[adobo777]

Who cut the buffalo up for you?

[BC9696]

@adobo777 Interesting process. The taxidermists drove out to our GPS coordinates in a tractor, chained the head to the bucket, lifted it off the ground and we gutted it. He then drove it to his truck/trailer rig, returned to his shop and removed the skull and robe before taking the carcas to a meat processor. They hung (aged) the bull for six weeks before cutting and vac packing it. I got two months later.

[adobo777]

@BC9696 Interesting, thanks.

[SaintFu]

@BC9696 If you don't mind my asking, what was the fee for the retrieval/processing of the bull?

PS - those barbecued bison pics are making me hungry, and I just had breakfast.

[BC9696]

@SaintFu The transportation was included in the taxidermists fees which ran 2K (shoulder mount, robe and euro skull) and $800. for the meat processing w/ shipping.

[SaintFu]

@BC9696 Thanks for the reply. That seems reasonable to me.

I'm still hungry, though.

Thanks for the nice shots (rifle and camera). Good kill.

[dakurlzz100]

is there any difference between the 45-70 govt and the 45-70bfr?

sorry if that seems dumb but im a glock AR AK FN and HK person and i dont know too much about revolver ammos but i know enough to get round answer please!

[Stelphanie]

@dakurlzz100 The .45-70 govt is the calibre, the "bfr" is the "biggest finest revolver" made by the same guys who brought us the desert eagle. So the .45-70bfr is a bfr that shoots .45-70 govt. Which, by the way, is a full power rifle cartridge, formerly used by the US Army (hence the "government" designation), who abandoned it for the smaller, lighter, and lighter recoiling .30-40 and 30-06 cartridges. .45-70 is considered a good round for anything less than an Elephant.

[MrChevroletEd]

Arent buffalo endangered? im not some tree hugging fag, just curious

[BC9696]

@MrChevroletEd No, they are not. If they were then i would have committed a crime and having posted irrefutable videotaped evidence on this site, would currently be in a federally funded rape cage where I would be bought and sold for cigarettes. We almost wiped em out but they have been successfully bred and repopulated in many states.

[MrChevroletEd]

@BC9696 Cool thats good to know, did you eat it? If so how'd it taste

[BC9696]

@MrChevroletEd See revised summary above w/ links to barbecued bison photos.

[choopdewoot]

@BC9696 what state was this done in. been wanting to go buffalo hunting for a few years and will get the opurtunity soon

[BC9696]

@choopdewoot Utah because they have the purest strain of No. Amer. bison in the country.

[choopdewoot]

@BC9696 im gonna look up info on hunting there thanks. what gun was used

[BC9696]

@choopdewoot Read description under video. Everything is there.

[sk8wise12]

@MrChevroletEd Buffalo burgers actually a big thing out here in Colorado!

[mrgeorge457d]

Dude ,next time take the head-shot and save the brisket 

[Pennshitz]

I could hear the bullet impact on the buff.

[meilani42]

Beautiful animal,...love watching it alive,...hella damn meat need a whole freezer all its own!! Meat enough to feed a town! jeje

[BC9696]

@meilani42 Filled 3 1/2 freezers

[tristancooper1997]

@BC9696 i didnt no they made 45-70 in bolt

[BC9696]

@tristancooper1997 My rifle is a custom conversion.

[tristancooper1997]

@BC9696 who made it?

[BC9696]

@tristancooper1997 I don't know...I bought it second hand online. if you look around you will find them from time to time. The Mauser actions are truly superior to many others.

[tristancooper1997]

@BC9696 great vedio and keep up the good work i will look into getting one of the 4570 bolts

[BC9696]

If you turn the sound way up, you can actually hear the bison's hooves pounding the ground. The shoulder mount arrived today...it sticks out 46" from the wall and is laughably enormous! Wife's not thrilled.

[bitcheznhos]

What do you do with the bison penis and anus ?

[BC9696]

@bitcheznhos

One crawled inside the other and ran off. Word is you can find them posting stupidity on the internet now.

[bitcheznhos]

@bitcheznhos I mean do you eat them or make sausages out of them. Similar to giblets with a turkey. I use all parts of the animal after the hunt. I would imagine while taking apart an animal of this size you eventually would come to that part and have to a make a decision

[BC9696]

@bitcheznhos No...I don't eat bison penis or anus. Ewwww. What I did take was: Tenderloin steaks, T-bones, Rib & Sirloin steaks, Round & Flank steak, Short ribs, Chuck & Round roast, Sirloin tip & Rump roast, Stew meat and Burger (lots of it). The skull was bleached and hangs on the wall. The robe was tanned and it a heavy heavy blanket and the shoulder mount is to arrive this week and will stick out 4' from the wall. The liver & heart fed the dogs.

[Moldovawineimporter]

@bitcheznhos Why would anyone ask such a stupid question ?

You throw those parts to the coyotes, what do you think hunters do with such animal parts .

[hesgonecountry]

impresive! that would be more meat then i would know what to do with

[BC9696]

@hesgonecountry

511lbs to be exact. It is amazingly good too. So much better than beef and so much better for you! Leaner, lower in fat and cholesterol than chicken or fish. Filled 4 freezers! Got enough left to last another year and we eat bison a lot around here.

[aroccop]

how far was that shot?

[BC9696]

@aroccop

1st round in the lungs was 97 yards, second round in the neck was 117 yards.

[aroccop]

@BC9696 great stho!

[acidmetalrocker666]

good kill, that thing had to have been a challenge to move afterwards haha

[BC9696]

@acidmetalrocker666 The taxidermist used a tractor.

[awesomeitalian]

good kill

[RoninHawk]

Very interesting rifle. Good hunt.

[goodnightChesty1775]

im gona look up a 45-70 it must be a huge round to take down a buffalo

[camerl2009]

@goodnightChesty1775 not to big

[thedoomdog]

Buffalo Bore ammo, works wonders would never use anything over it.

[NoGotMoney]

Good shooting. That's a massive animal.

[DuqProf]

nice to finally see a hunting video with no anti-hunting comments!

[paul61375]

That is actually a pretty darn good video considering it was taken from a phone. Nice Shot

[winchester18862003]

Cool!

[BC9696]

As stated in the description, it was shot w/ an iPhone by my partner. Neither of us brought a videocamera.

[brianshatner]

@BC9696 That's one serious iPhone. How's the recoil on that thing?

[proximxr]

Jeez at the shakey camera..bring a tripod
