This one is just too hard to keep quite on.  I just couldn't shoot it and then post with the Bison (don't suspect it's a buffalo) like I got it on a hunt....and I like to do that.  You want to go primitive but you want to trade for a bow and arrows?  I'm not following that too well, but if you're going to borrow I'd borrow a 60-70# bow and sling some 600 grain arrows from it.  If you hit shoulder with a 55# bow that "may" shoot 55# at your particular draw length you may not get 3" of penetration.  If you hit a rib it may bounce off.  Anyway, if you want to shoot it go heavy and get a still shot so you hit vitals and put it down clean.  Just my .02 brother

i be verry dissapointed in anyone who would hunt anything in a pen. (unless if it is killing something that u/someone els dosent want on their propertie. then it is more like extermination that hunting. im suprised huntertraper hasnt already stated the same.

I'ml tell y'all what. After having gone and harvested that bison, I am convinced that it will not be easy to get close enough for a good shot without ambushing it.

Thanks for the encouragement Billy. I will be sure and try and read the article.
