Little and fast through and through wont stop a charging animal. Exploded heart and a couple of broken shoulders will. Spine shot will. Head shot if the round is right and placed right. But not an easy part to hit when one is coming for you

.375 Ruger for the bison. 30-06 for the smaller game. You can use a .30 caliber up here for bison but fish and game requires 220 grain bullet minimum, fwiw.

Bison are very protective of other members of the herd...the one you shot isn't always the one that will try to kill you...

Stupid phone messed up my last post Stephen. Could not be operator error 😁

Figure the Indians (feather, not dot) used to kill buffalo with bows weaker than those legally required to hunt white-tail in my state. Shot placement indeed.
Or they cared less about an instant kill and simply let them bleed to death.
Remember the Baleen bear and wolf killers?
Piece of Humpback baleen with pointed ends, rolled up tight and tied with a rawhide string, then frozen into a bit of lard.
After it is eaten by a bear, KAPOW!
Punctures the stomach and the animal dies.
But certainly not fast or painless.

I have no problem being chief population control officer in my AO...
Nothing wrong with that as long as it's done with prudence.
My understanding of the Idaho bill that passed authorizing a massive wolf kill off is that virtually all wildlife scientists believe it is totally misguided and will not achieve the goals the bill's sponsors claim. Not to mention the lack of ethics and cruelty involved.

After a break, I'm back after the fuzzy brown long eared flower munchers. 1 yesterday, 2 tonight for a total of 8.
The .22lr Encore has been flawless.

Huh?
They didn't just ask the buffalo to please kindly jump to a often slow, agonizing death.
The buffalo took some scalps too.

I've been eyeballing some .22 and .25 pellet guns to get past the issues, but in reality, I don't shoot all that much. FX Impact MKII .25, with plenty of aftermarket goodies.
