One other thing to address, forest.....not sure what your issue is, but you really really show your experience in your reaponses. By that, i mean lack of experience. Max isnt under gunned for buffalo. Not in the least. The only way buff’s that are one shot kills is because they only give you one and they die later. Period, end of story. Not only are they tough animals, anatomically and physiologically they have features put in them by the Lord above that keeps em ticking. Besides the tough bone and hide, they have a very very thick pericardium that seals holes and doesnt allow them to bleed out quickly at all. Recently i had a large bovine on its feet for 6 minutes after a 1 1/2” hole was placed through both ventricles of the heart. This is because they run really really low blood pressure and have a very slow heart rate. Deer and elk, not so much! Totally different creatures. Max put that cape buff down faster than any cape buff ive seen that wasnt brained or spined
