My God that's terrible, its gotta take a lot of gun to stop a charging bison !
In my opinion that ^ right there is the problem. Fish & Game put a minimum caliber restriction on bison. Although a 30/06 is enough, because of the regs, most hunters choose a larger caliber. One they cant shoot. The last time I brought one in a CO told me that a full 75% of the bison harvested in Yukon have been wounded previously. Thats a lot of wounded bison.
Im not saying that was the cause in this case, because I dont know any more than what the article says, but I do believe guys would make cleaner kills if they used their normal hunting rifles. Our local gunshop has sold a pile of heavy rifles to guys who will only shoot them once or twice a year.
