Dakota Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Shot this big boy Wednesday out on the Triple-U Buffalo Ranch about 30 miles NNW of Ft. Pierre, South Dakota. My friend, Jim Zumbo, set this hunt up when he heard that my health was not good. Gave me a call in the hospital saying, "You know what, we're going buffalo hunting!". Jim paid for this hunt, considering I am financially strapped and will be going on disability as I wait for a heart transplant. Crumpled a really nice bull (older than meat bull, younger than trophy bull) out of a herd of 70 at 100 yards with one shot from my trusty .30/06. I can't thank Jim enough! This hunt will be on Jim Zumbo Outdoors next season. Below, is the home video footage dad took of the hunt and shot; the quality will be much better on the Outdoor Channel version! lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f6lEMY4gOM Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
