[QUOTE="DRC458, post: 3313197, member: 530"] Yeah, buddy and I did it in Feb of 2008. The first challenge was finding the herd. Then, pick out the one you want. Then, get a clear shot at that one in particular. To be fair, it was probably more like a 30 to 40 yard shot. I used the 458 WM simply because I had hauled it all the way to Zimbabwe and never shot anything with it. I don't remember for certain which bullet I shot. I think it was either a 350-grain RNSP or maybe the Remington 405-grain FP. As soon as you put one down, you move in to run off the rest of the herd. They can ruin a hide by trying to get the critter you shot back on his feet. I got a nice looking rug and "European" skull mount to show for it. Oh, yeah, and meat ... lots of meat. I think that was the last year they did Bison hunts on that ranch because of drought conditions. I know they suspended them for several years and I think they gave up the idea entirely. Was it worth it? Hell, yeah. But, I wouldn't spend a lot of money to do it again. [/QUOTE]
