Leighton. What a fantastic opportunity for you to get a bison tag. Thanks for taking us along for a very well told recount of your hunt. As you found about the fire’s Alaska folks, they are always eager to help visitors to enjoy the visit to their great state. Enjoy your bison, and I know you will never forget your hunt and the help from those folks.

How many of us on here have lost a game animal to a bad shot. And have had that gut and soul ache for days trying everything you know and could do to find the animal. Even for days after.... or found yourself weeks after still hoping to find or stumble on it at times.
Raise your hand.

When will the buffalo food porn photos' going to be up? Serious question... you do food photography well.
Stop encouraging food porn.... hell that Andrew Zimmer show made me hungry.... knock that schit off....
Heck, go for it Leighton.
It's an hour or so from lunchtime and I could use some encouragement to get my corned beef and cabbage started.

Damn! If I'd had sufficient warning, I could have invited KG and crew to my house for LUTEFISK. It's about that time of year when it shows up in a few stores.....the poor varieties anyway.
I had to try it, once................
at some Skandahoovian dinner in Juneau when I was up there.
Now realize, I love fish................lutefisk? Not so much!

Hand up here. Javelina and a pheasant.
Both dropped like rocks and were gone when I got to where they fell.

it does not surprise me to hear you noticed the smell of the bison meat.
Sometimes I think I'm the only one that notices things like that...................but a foodie like you would, of course, also be that way .

The first deer I killed with a bow was one of those ???? episodes. I was about 30’ up a poplar in a climber and a fork horn came easing by maybe 10 yards from the base of the tree. I let fly and it felt like a good shot.
The buck ran off about 75 yards toward the southwest and with the setting sun behind him, I could see his silhouette. He stopped and after a few seconds he dropped. I climbed down, packed up my stand and gear, then walked over to check him out. There was lots of blood around and at first couldn’t find my hit. Then I found I had hit him in the neck. I was thinking, “there’s no way I pulled a 10 yard shot that badly.”
I was shooting a Zwicky broadhead with IIRC, a span of a little over an inch and “bleeder” blades that span about 5/8”. The main blade struck 90 degrees to his neck and had cut the jugular. Had the arrow spun a quarter turn more or less and it may have missed everything vital. I figured that he jumped the string and the arrow landed just as he squatted and whirled to his right.

If I could get that frigging video off my phone he would already have it! Sadly, he thinks it will exhonerate him. It will show a bison dead in midair.
Your hypothesis is almost as bad as your spelling. Hint: the word 'exonerate' has no 'h' in it. I'm not looking for an excuse, but a possible explanation, and I know that bison moved just before that bullet hit him, as the video will show. That said, pretty obviously, and as I've readily admitted, it was operator error, no more and no less.
good job kg...dont know why sd is putting you down pretty low class ...some times shiiit happens...but thats a dead buffalo....bob
Some things are meant to be. Could you speak Bisonese I’ve no doubt you’d have heard the animal say with spiritual emphasis “It’s a good day to die” just as he bared his neck to the bullet. Great show. But I gotta say, as beautiful as the missus is she doesn’t appear to be as thrilled as you must have been. Congrats on the hunt and on keeping her around.

Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
First whitetail I ever killed was a button buck with a flintlock (at 13 I think) with a spinal shot at about 20 feet (was aiming at the chest). One of the greatest moments of my life.
Dead is dead, who cares if luck was involved? No one is perfect (cept for God)

I don't know what everybody else is reading but from where I'm sitting:
