Vegetarian: an old Indian word for bad hunter. He got old while he was home doing squaw work. :'( Justin

Wow, I just read all the posts. I guess I really did kick a hornets nest did'nt I Bishop. It has been a very stimulating conversasion. I actually appreciate the opposing comments and concerns.
To my indian brother.... I have already begun thanking God for the provision and it is with a heart of gratitude that I will accept the sacrifice of the buffalo to feed my family this year. I will in no way disrespect her. I appreciate your willingness to recognize the respect due the buffalos spirit and I intend to honor it as well.
For those that don't like the canned hunt thing, I understand. I didn't go into this with the hunt in mind. I heard about the cull and not being a trophy hunter I'm going for a 4-6yr old cow. Not having a stock trailer I figured might as well kill it there and load it in the back of the pickup and take it to the processor. Then I got to thinking would'nt it be an interesting experience to try and take it with the bow. I visualized shooting it in the pen with the bow and I thought " well then that not very sporting." Thats when I thought about doing the stalk or ambush. I appreciate the purity that you are defending and I appologize if you have been offended by my post. What I just described was the logical progression of my thoughts and I still stand by my reasoning.
In reference to the tackle comments I am all ears. If this had been a planned thing then I would have made my own gear. Call me a romantic if you will but I thought if I was gonna do it with the bow I might as well see if I could procure a good set of arras for the task by offering up one of my fat ringed osage staves. I don't have access to a heavier bow so if I go through with the bow harvest it will have to be with the Virgin Hickory. Obviously there is a certain danger level in this pursuit and I am not trying to prove my manhood. The anticipatiion does get my heart rate up though and I thought it is better to know your limitations and if possible plan for worst. If the general concensus is that the 55# bow is too light then I may need to rethink the weapon of choice.
