Bison vs 45-70 Govt. Buffalo Bore ammo

Utah-Nov. 23, 2009:
Rifle: Siamese Mauser Custom 45-70 Govt.
Ammo: 350 gr. 45-70 Govt (hot load-2250FPS) by Buffalo Bore.
T.O.D.-Sunrise
Target: No. American Bison, 2009lb bull.
Double click on video and view full screen w/ your speakers turned up...you can actually hear this buffalo's hooves as he takes off, moving up and away from us.
First shot hit both lungs, (so it couldnt run off over the hill) second shot was right behind the ear, he cart wheeled in the air and it was lights out.
Looks like we'll be eating buffalo instead of beef for a few years. This video was shot w/ an iPhone so the quality is so-so.

THIS BULL TASTES BETTER THAN STEAK! Lower in fat, cholesterol, no steriods or antibiotics and much better for you than chicken or fish! Lower in fat, cholesterol and much better for you than chicken or fish! Here's my 1st attempt w/ buffalo on the grill. Brushed with extra virgin olive oil & melted butter, sprinkled with Montréal seasoning and flash grilled at high heat for four minutes, removed from heat and wrapped in foil for 15 minutes, tossed back on the grill at 300 degrees for 10 more minutes to finish, let sit for five more minutes so the juices can redistribute, then cut into 1" rib eye steaks.

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

[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.
