Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game My Bison Hunt... update... kind of

Well I did say more to follow�

A Very Big THANKS to my bride for making this happen.


Thanks to all who gave me advice on bullet placement� I chose a neck shot and it was like a hammer.

Thanks to Mark Knight and Jerermy Williams of MMK Outfitters for a GREAT hunt.

They are great guys who know their business and know how to have fun!

Location was Clifton, Texas on the �Texas Safari Ranch�.
Temp was Lows of the 30�s and Highs of the 50s
Rifle Marlin XLR 450 Marlin with Brockmen peep sights
400gr Speer .458 RNFP bullets going about 1900 ft/sec

I had hoped to have more pics but my son has yet to send them to me sooooo�




This was a one ton Bison� we were lucky he had moved to a pond to get some water so he was about 150ish yrds from the heard.

The heard was small 10 to 15 individuals but they were good big healthy animals.

As my bull was heading back we positioned ourselves about 85yrds from him and I shot from shooting sticks.

One shot and he was down� did not take even one more step.

Each of my sons got a Red Deer Cow� which was a very exciting hunt.

We could not get within 100 yrds of them so�

My oldest son took a Cow at 204yrds with a Marlin 450 with Brockmen peep sights sam bullet I was using� one shot DRT!

My Youngest son took a Red Deer Cow at 204yrds with a Win 30-06 150g Accubond Aprox 2900 ft/sec 240 yrds one shot DRT.

My Middle son took a Red Deer Cow at 130 Win 30-06 150g Accubond Aprox 2900 ft/sec... took 3 shots... one was a miss

It was a great hunt and a great time!

I heartily recommend MMK Outfitters
