Kurt, you been Buff hunting yet?

[Gussy]

Gussy, Congrats on your buffalo, and the outstanding shot you made; nicely done. Can you provide us more info on loads, weather, etc.? If you don't mind I would also like to know, if you used your barrel sights and low power reading glasses, etc. that were discussed on the Shiloh forum?

Regards

Yes on the reading glasses and open sights. The rifle was a Shiloh 45-90, Std weight half round barrel, 90 grns of 1 1/2 Old E, 25-1 gov bullet, shot off long sticks from a standing position.

Weather was clear and warm, probably high 60's - low 70's, almost no wind.

We made a couple stalks before we were able to get an open shot. The herd, roughly 100 animals, were constantly moving in and out around the animals we wanted to shoot. The animal went down very quickly and no follow shot was needed. By the time he ran a short loop and back into the herd he was staggering and lots of blood was clearly seen.

Great hunt!!
Gus
