Wild Bison with a 460 S&W

wyogoob said:
We call the 460 the "Thunderboomer". Comes from getting excited, getting in a hurry, and not taking the time to put ear plugs in during a hunting situation. not good

Ouch! When I shoot 357 and 44 mag I normally double up at the indoor range with some in-the-ear plugs and earmuffs. I can only imagine shooting a 460 "naked" :eek:

...We performed an amateur autopsy on the 4 quarters at the butcher shop. There was a bullet wound in the hump and a wound around the brisket, both about 10" away from the spine, my target. Another shot clipped the diaphragm, went thru the stomach and the bullet was found embedded up against the hide at the hind leg about 8" above the knee.
At this point we have no idea what knocked the bison down...

I'm guessing the four bullets might have had something to do with it. :eek:

Congrats on a successful surgery! I had both eyes done and Restor lenses put in. My near sight isn't as good as it used to be, but I can still read w/o glasses, and for the first time in decades, no longer require glasses for distance or driving. Took a long time to adapt to no longer needing glasses for driving, but it's great being able to get by with a $20 pair of sunglasses! :D:cool:
 
I really want to go on a Buffalo hunt. I have an early FA-83 454 Casull but I really want to do it with my Sharps 45 2 4/10's

Good question. The hunt area I was in is no-lead.

So first off, what an awesome story! That is a magnificent beast both the gun and the buffalo. I know someone mentioned using the punch rounds and I'm sure you probably already know about it. Your expertise trumps mine, but have you seen the underwood ultimate penetrator rounds? They're solid copper. the end is shaped like a Phillips head screwdriver. Do you think this would have had a better effect?

Thank you very much. My neighbor across the street just bought a .460 S&W. He showed his new gun to me and I said to him, "If a rampaging elephant comes charging down our street, you can stop him!"

Today, I took my computer across the street to show him your bison hunting article to which he was very interested.

Congratulations on a great bison hunt, and thank you so much for sharing it with us. Wonderful photos and narrative. Some photos I didn't show my sensitive wife and she enjoyed the less bloody ones. I enjoyed them all. The one of the bison heart and gun was especially informative! Wow! 7.5 pounds!

Again, thank you, Sir!!!
