Buffalo arrows

DanaM:
Your right wv its his call but when you post something on here you also have to expect people to give their opinion especially on something like this.
He also could have just posted asking about arrows for buffalo and left the details out. Show this buffalo some respect and just give it a quick death same as when ya butcher a cow, pig or chicken.

Billiy I don't think you can compare a 50lb yearling deer to a 2000lb buffalo also its apparent that the deer had a chance as it escaped ;D the buffalo is
gonna be dead at days end no matter what. As to him using primitive equipment, so what does that make it right?
Your comparing this to deer hunting, its a buffalo in the open ain't no where for it to hide.  And if runs to the corner of the
fence two miles away just get in the truck and go stick a few more arrows in it. >:(

Danny no offense intended just my opinion.

Coo-wah-chobee:
The circular reasoning used on some of these replies to Danny's post is just astounding ! Also, there is no reason to see if primitive equipment will kill a buffalo. The Indians DID it for hundreds of years ! That being said.......                                                                                                                                                                                                  Danny, I hope you will reconsider this for a number of reasons one being  I think youre setup is too light for the animal you are trying to harvest. I can see the reasoning about the meat. Take it or have it taken to a processor. I dont think you will be happy with the personal feeling at the end of this "hunt " if you do it, at least I for one hope you wont..................bob

jamie:
im with billy . id take the hunt. i wouldnt take backup shooter though. still want it to be a fair fight. i eat him or he stomps me.

Danny my fellow Kansan
  you may have kicked a can of bees with this one..lol. I know you didnt ask for opinions on how you are going to take the buff but you are going to get them anyway. I would assume most people who have taken a interest in primitive archery have learned a little about our native indian tribes and how much the buffalo meant to their daily lives and survival. This may sound dumb but with me its a respect issue i guess, but in the end, either way, you are going to have a dead buff and some meat in the freezer. When i was young the only place i could see buffalo was in a baseball field size pen on Fort Riley. now there is a buffalo farm not 16miles from my house where i can go and buy pre-packaged meat, and man its good eatin. How do they kill their animals, well, i have never asked. does that make me a hypocrite, maybe. If you are doing this just to see "what your bow can do" i would say please reconsider. if not, then you only have yourself to answer to.

Danny, I'm not gonna comment on the method, thats up to you...but I will say if you don't know that your bow WILL take the buffalo and you don't have arrows to practice with, you shouldn't try it this time!  If this opportunity excites you, have your set up ready for the next time around. I would imagine this ranch, and others, have a similar situation every year of so to keep their herd in check.   My $.02.    Pat
