Andy, didn't you tell me to just sidestep him and whack him with your bow?  


Or does that just work with the hogs??  Haha!

Thanks Guys, Its funny I often think of the good ol days and how it would be great to be in some untouched wild African country hunting for irory or something...but the reality is these are the good days, Hunting access to the world is at our fingertips, opportunity's are open that have never been available to the average guys these days.

Here is a group of young bulls that have been kicked out of the herd and stick together until they mature

I totally agree with you Andy these are the good ole days and opportunity abounds for the average guy.One just needs to attend one of the big industry trade shows and you can find adventure all over the globe.If you can dream it there is somebody there that can help you.

Andy love your threads keep it coming please.Down Under is on my bucket list.

you get paid in one of these at the end of every day
 

easy to get a good feed out in this bush, just always have to be aware that there are some BIG Crocs lurking in these waters.

here's one of my buddys Craig M from Hawaii glassing for hogs and Buff on an afternoon walk out from camp.
 

and the usual broadhead retrieval once he had his beast on the ground.

we took some field testing to the next level one day by suspending a buffalo and setting it up just as it would if standing... it made for some interesting testing, here it is at the end after going through the layers for some great anatomy pics..ill put up on the Dangerous game forum.

 

Interestingly after all the testing Im pretty convinced that the front on shot is one of the best shots to take on a buffalo. Will go into that some time. I killed 5 buff this year all with front on shots.
