    Looking for advice from those of you who have harvested a bull buffalo.  I have both a 300 wsm and a 300 win.  If and when I ever get a chance to hunt buffalo would they be enough gun, and more importantly what bullet would you recommend?  Both rifles shoot a 180 nos AB very well.  Was also thinking about loading some 200 partitions and seeing how they fly.  I know Game and Fish would like hunters to shoot lead free ammo, but did not have very accurate results with the ones I have tried in the past.

    Thanks in advance for input and info.

    PRDATR did a pretty good job giving some good info.  Approach your stand quietly, cant walk too far from a vehicle, but a min of a 1/4 is my rule.  set up with sun at your back if possible, in the shade if possible, and always with a bush/ tree breaking up your outline.  Mouth or e caller, start very low volume for the first 2-4 min, then increase volume.  Mess around with different sounds and different calls.  get out and have some fun.  you will mess up more than you don't, but when it all comes together it is a blast.

    Limit your motion in the stand as well.  Move slowly and move your eyes more than your head.  stop frequently for a min or two; keep their attention but make them look for you.  Lastly, always try to stop a running dog before you shoot ….. not always possible but try.

    Called in 3 dogs yesterday.  came into about 200 yards and started circling my wind.  This guy stopped on the second ridge over.  Without time to range him I did a little old school guess work.. lol,  held the crosshair about 4 inches over his shoulder and let it eat...bang flop with a 50 gr ballistic tip out of an old ruger 77 223.   I had my buddy range me when I hiked over to pick him up.... 437 yards.  Probably my furthest shot on a dog, and definitely one of my biggest..

    Good day calling before the wind hit.

    Remington 788 youth model chambered in 308.  Got it when I was 10 or 12 years old.  Was lucky to hit a paper plate at 100.....  I am sure it was me and not the rifle... Killed my first deer with it on the Kaibab.  Moved up to a 30-06 Rem bdl for a couple of years and didn't like the recoil.  Sold that a got a Rem 700 bdl in 6mm rem, loved that gun and killed lots of coyoted,  coues and mule deer with an 80 gr core lock...   ohhhh the memories.
