Texas Trad Buffalo

Texas Trad Buffalo - “I stalked to within 20 yards of the bull when he decided something was wrong and looked down his nose at me like agitated bovine do. The wind was good so he could not smell me so he made three hasty steps in my direction which was quite unnerving but I held my ground. At this point he was 17 to 18 yards. After he starred at me for some time, he swung his head to go. This is when I raised up and let the 820-grain arrow go from my 65# longbow. He took it low in the shoulder and ran into the thick riverine bush.

From what I could tell the massive shoulder only allowed one lung. We followed him for 100 yards or so and we came into an opening where he stood looking in our direction. The sun was beaming down in his eyes so I decided to move close to slip another arrow in. This shot he took in the shoulder as well but on the other side. Arrow placement and wits are crucial in hunting these massive animals. A well-tuned arrow above Dr. Ashby’s bone breaking threshold is a must.” - Carson Rost
