Ted wanted some buff on his ranch in Waco to hunt. He bought 2 and they about wrecked the place. He called me and asked me if I would help him \rid the place of them. Being the friendly guy I am I agreeded to lend him a hand.
Ted said we can have them shot soon and it would make a good Spirit Of The Wild TV show.
Well me being from back East, I did not know what thick cedar breaks were in the TX hill country, but I soon found out.
To make a long story short after 3 days of crawling on our bellys 10 yrds from the 2 buff through and over the cedar and shale we had not killed anything.
On the third day we managed to get this one bull in a short opening and I put 2 SW 500 Mag bullets through his shoulders at 10 yrds after he stared us down for about 5 minutes. He died game. He gave off a death bellow just like a Cape Buffalo. It was a tough hunt.
The rifle was a Ruger 375, Ted adopted it after the first day and put his bow down. The pucker factor was about a 9. There were times when we could not see the bull but he could see us at 7 to 10 yards. It was a very intense hunt.
I was shooting the 440gn Cor-Bon factory load. Both bullets went completely through, but they did the job. This buff was not afraid of us at all. It was one darn fine hunt..........................................JJ
Congratulations!
