I went out on a recon trip a few weeks back, I ended up about 4 klms from the camp when I came across this bruiser and a few of his mates.

I stalked in to 31 yards when I took these pics. It was exciting to say the lest. I wish I could now tell you how the Buff fell to a razor sharp broadhead after travelling only twenty yards. Unfortunately thats not quite how it ended but still it was great, and I will be back out there very soon.

You'd be surprised. Some restaurants sell buffalo and I've heard from people who have ordered it that it is pretty tender. :shock:

You sure can eat it, BEAUTIFUL..........

To say my heart was racing would be like saying that an F1 car is quick.

Not quiet the right angle for a Texas heart shot, maybe behind the rear rib... :)

Would a Texas heart shot be a considered on an animal that size ? Would it be an effective shot to take?

After seeing first hand how much these beast can absorb from both Rifle and Bow, I would not recommend a texas Heart shot, unless you had a bazooka!

you'd probably have to have a 70 pounder, but you have to think that you dont have to penetrate the thick hid or anything so... i think youd probably have an lright chance, especially because if your hunting buff you'd want to have a pretty heavy arrow anyways...

I've never heard of anyone trying a texas heart shoot on a buff. an animal that size has the attitude to match. mine I hit from 15 metres with a 70# 2317 tipped with a ribby I've shot those same arrows through a 44 gallon drum but on the buff it stopped at the fletches

they are tough, when in doubt get closer
