Big Game Hunters, Show Your Stuff

[BarnBuster]

"When buffs are supposed to be dead, they ain’t. And even when you approach one thinking that it’s all over, that they are down and out, never, ever, let your guard down. Veteran PHs (old PHs, like old airplanes that have stood the test of time are good PHs) will tell you, 'It’s the dead ones that will kill you'. Death by buffalo can occur in one of several different and spectacularly eviscerating ways. Those thoughts swirled through my mind like a swarm of stinging bees. With each daunting image, my hands gripped the big rifle even more tightly....Then there he was, only thirty-five yards away... He was big, black and terrible in his rage, in his intentions."

F'ing beautiful. How tasty were they ? Some fine dining is coming your way.
I always leave the heads on , that's the best part. Such heavenly flavor, wonderful crunch and esthetically pleasing to the eye !

We lost this guy yesterday morning to dementia.
I hope he's back among the beautiful critters of Chisana in the Wrangell's above treeline glassing.
He was a Man's man, tough and full of sand, We'll hunt again when my Termination Dust falls brother.

Those lions were almost supernatural. They knew their prey VERY well.
