Well, it's been a day we got out there and the ranch hands located the buffalos. We was able to get within a 100 yds of them. Bruce(the guy who set all this up ;D) had a .30-06 and my uncle had his .25-06 to back me up. Bruce and shot the buffalo we picked. Mine dropped and Bruce's stumbled. I swung my gun to cover Bruce's. Bruce shot again and went high he told me to shoot, I shot and it drooped. During this time I didn't notice mine getting up. Luckily my uncle shot and it dropped.

Now the fun began. Three hours later both animals gutted, skinned, cut up into manageable pieces(hah) and loaded into the reach in cooler to chill.  We will let it chill until this weekend before we start processing.  Rough guess is about 300 lbs of meat apiece.

Whenever I want to post a picture I save it to my computer and post it from there. Let's see if it still works.
