I shot my bison in SD on an Indian res. many years ago with a 45-70 using a traditional BP load & a tang sight single shot replica buffalo rifle. The most difficult part was obtaining a clear shot in the herd. Cows with calves are the most dangerous. A 75 year lady shot hers with a 220G.30-06 that she had used to take over 35 elk in Oregon with. Plains Buffalo by nature are not wary animals as reading history of buffalo hunters in the 1860's & later will verify. I wore buffalo hunters attire & used wooden shooting sticks. I shoulder mounted the bison in a display feeding on wild wheat & grass. Bison hunting, if you can call it hunting, is interesting & makes for some good low cholesterol meat.
