Hunting Buffalo.

Jerky

1000 pounds of Buffalo would yield about 250 pounds of Jerky.

Need about 110 Gallons of Kikkoman Soy Sauce, 55 Gallons of Lea & Perrins, 5 pounds garlic and 10 pounds black pepper to. Maybe add 10 pounds of ground cumin or oregano for just a bit more kick!

And 'bout a pound of habanero.

Art the feral cattle are not just in the canebrakes anymore. Place we hunt put 100head of cows and a couple bulls onto 2,000acres. That was 30yrs ago, they worked em for the first time a couple years ago, trying to get them all out. They got the ones stupid enough to go into a huge trap they built, then pushed em into pens on bulldozers and tractors with blades. Those that didn't get trapped or jumped the 7' fence to escape are not the nicest critters in the world. We went to work some young pups one day and bayed one of those beasts, it was not pretty. I set a new record in the mile run another day when a cripple decided to hunt me and I didn't want to have to shoot it. You know a 12 gauge with slugs looks about like a .22 when 1500lbs of pissed off rogue bull is coming at you from across a cactus patch. The guy I work with put 3rds of 20gauge #3 buck into ones head from 15yds away and the sucker never flinched, the tranquilizer they had hit him with finally took effect shortly after and they got him tied and loaded. Sold him 3 days later, no ill effects from that buckshot. We've had some other less fun events with those rogues over the years, but the nice thing is most of the time they are spookier than deer and run like crazy at the sight, scent, or sound of a person. You'd be more likely to shoot a 10pt buck in that pasture than get within range of one of those rogues.

Buffalo Shares!

Why not sell "Buffalo Shares?"

1 Share = 100 Pounds of Buffalo Meat.

I would Buy 2 Shares.

I started traipsing around behind my grandfather on his ranch back around 1940. I figured out early on that anything that's 20 to 50 pounds heavier than I am is not something to trifle with, whether two legs or four. Even an old muley cow can demonstrate an uncomfortable bit of mother-love.

I later read of the trials, tribulations, injuries and deaths of bison tamers, and then about the sometimes-sad interactions of hunters and African buffalo. Sometime in the 1980s I read of the "canebrake cows" of the Rio Grande.

"There's cows, and then there's cows." Some never do more than stand around and stare at you, thinking only of the next mouthful of grass. There are those others that stare at you, speculating on the pleasures of stomping a mudhole in your sorry butt.

Use enough gun.
