I just got back with the meat. A montain of it. The large end rib eyes with a 11/4 slice weigh over 2lbs each!!!!! I have one marnating right now. One advantage of getting one here is you get to eat it. I hope it is as good as it looks........ reflex264

Nice going!

Sounds like a fun hunt and a good all-round experience.

What are you doing with the hide & head?

Well gents the meat is great. I followed some advice about cooking it at lower temps and a little more time and it turned out great. We had rib eye last night and I am fixing a rib eye for my son right now. I am getting a skull mount and I gave the hide to the taxidermist. I would love to have it in a shoulder mount but I don't have room for a mount that big. There are something like 14 heads on the wall right now not counting EUropean skull mounts.The mext buffalo is going to give mw an excuse to add on. reflex264

The bullets retained 70% and 90% of their weight after taking down a 1800 lbs water buffalo. For the record I watched them skin and quarter 2 bison. Their bones and muscle structure was nothing like the water buff and one gent there that was familier with cape buffalo said this water buff was a sturdy as any cape buff. The amazing thing is the bullet that broke the leg bone. It remained intact and kept plowing. A often overlooked part of cast bullet performance is the strength of the lead. Not just hardness. A maleable bullet with good hardness just gets more done. I will have pics of the bullets here tonight. reflex264

bullet #1 is the first shot. It broke the leg and hit the front of the lungs.
bullet #2 is the second shot that ripped the hole in the heart and lungs before exiting the ribs and lodging in the offside shoulder.
bullet #3 is a unfired 420gr

Yes its good!!!!!!!! Cook it slow and low
