Title: Widow V's Buff
Post by: Michael Baker on November 21, 2007, 11:08:00 PM
Hope this is OK with Admin, if not please delete.

My first Buff of the season. 82SCI Buff Cow at 15 yards. She traveled approx 40 yards and had no idea that she was in trouble.

i love it Mick! thanks for sharing, sure did'nt take her long to go down did it, next time ill try to hold the cammera a bit better  :rolleyes:   but granted i was quite far from a big tree  :D  

"longbowben" your not wrong Mick is Awesome and has the confidence and experiance that makes him a Great guide! iv seen footage of a scrub bull charging him after getting arrowed and Mick just calmly jumps out the way circles around a tree and gives it another arrow in the vitals at touching distance!  :notworthy:    :notworthy:

Mate you did all the hard work taking the video and not getting caught. I will post some of the video I took when you got stood up by that big Bull, the look on your face is priceless. Hopefully in the next couple of days.

Also use 190gr Grizzley's on the same set up...Draw to 30in so approx 68lb.

Danny, mate see you had a great time with Bill when you were downunder. I was so sorry to see him loose his fight.

Hey Mick, Bill will missed. I hunted down there again this year. Bill couldn't hunt, but we got to visit for awhile. It was good to see him again. Hunted with some of Bill's friends and they shared some great stories.

Australia is a great country with a lot of friendly bowhunters. I hope I can return again someday.
