caged buffalo hunt

[TSB]

I'm kind of a stickler for the facts.  The fact is, there are no buffalo in North America! 

They are American Bison and, you can correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe that there are any herds of bison left in the Americas that have not been genetically linked to common cattle.

The only true buffalo on the earth is the Cape Buffalo and even if he were in a cage, I wouldn't get near one with out some serious firepower!!!!!

All in good fun kids....

I just liked seeing the power of the .454 Casull.  2000 lbs at 100 yards dropped pretty much like a stone!

 One more thing, up here in the Great North, we call it a canned hunt, not a caged hunt.  Now I think I will go kill something and eat it.  Wasn't it John Denver that said "Thank God I'm a carnivore" ?

Hey, I shot my 3 buffalo for the same reasons, only my freezer was the "charity" I did give some away too.

I shot two in pens at the place where the guy with the front loader helped me. He had a reefer unit too, so I was able to quarter them and hang 'em for 10 days.

One of the cows would not trailer, so I ended up shooting her on the run in my corral. That was an interesting experience, especially as I am not an experienced hunter.

MB is right, we ranchers raise animals for food mostly, except my horses.

Now if someone can just fill me in on this Troll Alert nonsense.

I'm not that wise but I say if God didn't want us to eat all those critters he wouldn't have made them taste so darned good. 

BTW beefalo is great too. Part beef, part "buffalo". I still don't know why people call bison buffalo. It's like calling a pronghorn an antelope because it resembles one. Someone thought each new world animal looked like an old world one so we're stuck with inaccurate nicknames centuries later.

So now I know the "caged buffalo hunt" didn't even involve a cage, OR a buffalo, OR a hunt. It was a bison culling. We need some T-R-O-L-L-A-I-D-S to get rid of the gas and upset.

I haven't read all the posts yet, only got as far as "Spencer Castle's second post, but it's blindingly obvious that this guy knows squat about Buffalo hunting or history.
The "real" buffalo hunters of the old west who hunted the big herds on the open prairie, So called "Free Range", Like Billy Dixon, Buffalo Bill Cody, and Wild Bill Hickock, would set up a shooting position over looking a herd and then they would shoot for HOURS day after day. Buffalo are not very excitable animals , or else they are just dumb, because when one went down, others nearby would look over and go back to grazing. In one year in the late 1860's (1869 I think) hunters took 10 MILLION buffalo. On his first hunting trip to the Dakota's Teddy Roosevelt shot what he later thought to be one of the last buffalo in the territory, that was in 1889, a mere 20 years later. It was one of the things that led him to become one of the first Conservationists.
If you think it's so terrible to shoot a ranched buffalo, then the way your beef is harvested will make you puke. They line up the cows to be slaughtered in neck racks so they can't move then they go down the line with a pneumatic hammer and each one gets thumped between the eyes then its throat is slit.
your overly protected children probably think "Meat" comes from the store. Wake up ! It's ALL dead critters, and it used to be the job of the wife or kids to cut a chickens head off for Sunday dinner.
Now back under your bridge, you have no powers here.

Biggest problem trolls have on THIS forum is that WE LOVE a good argument Probably frustrates the hell out of them

There's a guy on the ATV forum I'm a member of who's been there less than a week. If anyone mentions Polaris he says "you can't spell POlariS without POS". It doesn't matter if millions of people have them and love them, it's still a POS because Mr. n00b says so! So much for the free exchange of information and ideas. Some trolls are brand specific like him and some are topic specific, but it seems like most forums have trolls. They have nothing better to do than waste everyone's time with their poison pen, and try to make other people as miserable as they must be. You can't please them, and you can't kick their a$$, so I try to find out the facts and make everyone else aware of them. I TRY not to lower myself to their level but sometimes I can't take it anymore and I'll say anything I think I can get away with, without getting banned. That's not productive either, but if someone starts a bunch of sh*t with me they better be prepared to finish it. If anyone has a picture of a buffalo in a cage being hunted they should post it. If not... well, I better bite my tongue this time.
