Buffalo Wings
« on: April 27, 2014, 02:38:00 PM »
Luck has come my way again and I will get to travel to Africa this summer to video a leopard hunt. During the day I can stalk Cape buffalo.

I have a 66" 78# Black Widow PLX set up and Toby from BW reduced one of my other PLXs to match draw weight for a back up bow.

With the hunt coming soon I've been shooting this setup to stay tip top.

Turkey season is open and there isn't a better way to test out your shooting skills than a turkey in my opinion.

Had 3 mature toms and around 10 hens walk by my fence row blind. I took a 20 yard shot at the biggest tom. It hit a little low and broke the drum stick. After a short sprinting match I shot again and claimed this beautiful tom.

Another shot with my favorite hunting partner, Marie.

The bird weighed 24.75#. 1 3/16" spurs and a 10 1/4" beard.

Congrats Denny!  That's a fine bird!  I think its great Marie likes to get out and hunt and that you two share it together.  I also think its great that she shoots big bucks from your tree stand while you are away.  Nothing like keeping a seat warm   :readit:
Relax,

You'll live longer!

For arrows I'm using Easton MFJ 250 dangerous game shafts with 250 grain heads. I used a Woodsman on a 125 grain adaptor for the turkey, but will use a Zwickey, No Mercy for the buffalo hunt.

For an encore performance  :) , I will be providing a hopefully delicious supper for the family tonight.
