I don't care how it's down, rifle, pistol, bow, muzzy, sledge hammer, .22 to the back of the head, axe handle, forklift, whatever... I'm considering the same thing for the meat, has to be a young cow or bull for me.. Wife is up for it also, we just really liked Bison meat... But might be fun with a bow so I can practice in case I ever get redrawn in AK... Besides I never kept the robe off my son's bull, (gave it to a friend that went with me) wouldn't mind doing the hide for my kid as a huge blanket... Do you know what it cost out there (WA or Montana), been trying to call the number but either answering machine or ring, ring, ring... Now- I am on a mission for the fridge, anyone else like to join me and split the gas to and from the east side, I can haul two quartered easily in the enclosed truck bed, out of the elements... I look at it this way, the cost of meat is crazy anyhow, a whole or half moo cow normally cost an arm and a leg, but you never know what in the ways of additives gets into their system.. Plus for those that haven't had Buffalo meat, it is so darn delicious, extremely healthy and almost fatless... it's crazy, except for the old bulls, yuk! And the way I have been this season, my fridge is very lonely.................................
