Bison

Have a safe trip

Just crossed the Mississippi into Iowa. Never seen it before. Really cool to see a river that had such a huge part in our past.

It was a heckuva drive, but we made it. It's really beautiful here. Saw a nice bull bison on the way into the reservation. Can't wait for the morning.
The guide is picking us up early. Then headed to take one last shot, and on to the hunt!

What a great day!
The herd spotted us from quite a distance. There were about 60. This bull was part of a group of 3 that were off to the side.
They were skittish and suspicious, but we got to about 50 yards. First shot broke the shoulder, he hunched up and tried to run but failed. The second shot hit both lungs. He dropped soon after. The guide had me shoot him again behind the ear, to end any suffering.
It was a moment I'll never forget. So thankful to be here and to be in the presence of such an animal. Thank you Lord.

So... after the work is all done, what are your thoughts on the performance of the load? Much meat damage? Any negatives? Positives?

I was happy with the speed he went down. There was a lot of damage to the lungs. I did lose some shoulder meat, for sure. The bullets did not pass thru (except the one behind the ear). He is at the packer hanging right now, so I haven't recovered the bullets yet, and cannot tell the extent of meat loss.
However, any meat loss is completely my fault due to shooting too far forward.
I am thrilled with the No Excuses so far.

Watch those buffler wings. They flap like crazy to burn your belly.
