Had the opportunity to head down to Texas to film a hunt, and while I was there, I was unexpectedly given the chance to harvest a buffalo. Definitely a hunt I’ll never forget.

A high-fence ranch needed a promotional video, and I planned on just filming. They had a kid shoot a blackbuck and a bull buffalo, then they told me I could take a cow too.

Bet it took many hours to butcher that bison.

Took it to a processor. The guide is coming up here to hunt and bring me the meat and head tomorrow. The bull was huge.

Actually there’s a little more to the story. Years ago, the ranch had bought some of Ted Turner’s bulls and cows to start their herd. They also had one problem bull that kept tearing up fences and causing issues with the herd, so they moved him to a separate pasture for this hunt.

Well, sometime before we got there, that bull broke through a fence looking to fight, and one of the Ted Turner breeder bulls ended up in that same pasture.

When we found a bull, we assumed it was the one they had moved over since it was supposed to be the only one there, so we shot it. After we left, the owner saw the bull they were actually planning for us to shoot and called saying, “Tell that kid he shot the bull of a lifetime.”

Turns out the one we shot was a $40,000 Ted Turner breeder bull.

edit; also we used a 6.5SS running 156 bergers at 3100fps
