Booked for Water Buff
« on: January 02, 2005, 01:19:00 PM »
After years of dreaming finally booked with Rick Mc for June. Now to move back up in bow weight and get those heavy shafts tuned. I will be inspired to work harder at work to fund another adventure. Oh, and have to make sure and get some running in too; don't want to be the slowest guy in the group! Should make for a good DVD.

Cool. Keep us informed on here. I live these types of hunts thru people like yourself. Doesn't look like I'll ever be able to go. Thanks for sharing!

It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

Just remember there Danny that Water Buff don't look at you they Look THROUGH you...lol. Bit like the way you'd look at someone who just killed your dog.

Denny

What weight bow and arrows are you shooting for?  Don't you shoot on the heavy side already?

Looking forward to reading/watching the story.

I've got to call Widow today. Hoping to order a 64" PLV 85-95 #. For shafts I'm hoping I can use the CX shafts that slide inside each other; I guess the bare shaft testing will tell that story. Five months seems short suddenly to get everything done.

Gun, wish you could go too. There has to be a way.

Randy, Good luck and look forward to visiting in Kazoo.

LOL Alan. I really like my dogs.

Todd, I've been shooting some wuss weight bows the last few years.

Dr. J.R., Keep your fingers wet; just a few root canals and crowns away. Are you going to the same place?

Alan, is right buffalo have a way of looking at you, that will suddenly make you feel very self conscious and that bow in your hand feel very small. Its like that line in Jaws "We're going to need a bigger boat", just change the boat to "bow". I did give Denny the bad news, nobody makes one trip to OZ,I made my "one" trip in 99 and haven't missed a year since. Cory Mattson, whos photo is at the top of this page says it was the best trip of any kind hes ever been on. Its different than Africa, but its best to see for yourself.

Darryl, the longer lens won't help, unless its long enough for you to stay in the car!

Ryan, Looks like Darryl and I will arrive on June 13. Hope we get to hunt together down the trail sometime.

Doug R, paper wasps- LOL

Darryl, wide angle lens up close and personal would probably be better.

Is a buffalo stare worse than an elephant or brown bear stare?

Rick, I can barely wait!

I think a buffalo stare is worse, as Robert Ruark

Hey Denny,You'll have a great hunt down here on the Buff. Rick's right about that look. I spent half an hour looking up the nostrils of a good bull from nine yards. Tried real hard not to let him look into my soul and kept thinking only pure thoughts about his family.It must have worked "cause when he turned and took a few steps I sent an arrow from my Robertson "Falcon" thru his heart. Uncle Don [Thomas]was right behind me. I'd add a photo of the Buff here on my profile but I'm not sure how to do it ?

Had a go at adding the photo, dunno if it works.
G'day Al, how you doing? Just tried to give you a call. See if you knew how to do this. Got James to have a go anyway.
