Heat Report post Posted April 21, 2015 I want to shoot a buffalo with my bow. I don't have a ton of preconceived notions on how that is going to go down. I would like to ask for some opinions on which hunt would give me my best chance to accomplish this. Keep in mind this is a once in a lifetime species and a very expensive tag so I likely would not have many more than one opportunity at this. I'm leaning towards making my first choice the second any buffalo hunt and the second choice the second cow only hunt. I am guessing that hunting later in the summer or early fall would give a good opportunity to hunt over water since the monsoon would be mostly over by then. Or would you prefer to have the "first' crack at them with archery equipment. Does anyone know if any general or other hunts preceed the first archery only hunt? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm a resident and have a chance at ANY tag in this state, except for Desert Bighorn where I have reached my Lifetime Bag Limit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oz31p Report post Posted April 23, 2015 I would go with any buff first season. In case things go to pot you can still take a cow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
