Accurate, and great penetration, expansion and weight retention. Plenty for a bison, cow or bull. Sounds great! Thank you very much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heat Report post Posted April 11, 2022 Mine was a smaller cow but I used a 30-06. She dropped immediately. Keep in mind that a mature cow is half the size of a mature bull so you don't really need a big gigantic rifle. If you have a rifle that you use for bull elk that you are comfortable with, use it. No need to re-invent something. Also keep in mind that the vast majority of the bison killed on the Kaibab are probably killed at archery range very close to a salt or water. You don't need a ton of energy if you are staying close to your target. Avoid the major bone and make it count and any standard big game caliber will be fine. That 7 Mag is plenty.
