The Sharps drew blood
« on: November 06, 2010, 04:12:16 PM »
It was time to fill the freezer again.

Five of us went to the Bison Ranch at Coteau Ridge North Dakota and settled in in the bunk house for the night.
The next morning we had a big breakfast that Oren the owner of the Ranch cooked.
Oren is one fine fellow very pleasant guy to talk to and he runs a first class Bison hunt on the North Dakota 4000 acer rolling plains that are as they were forever with a very large free roaming Bison heard.
For this hunt I used a Shiloh Sharps caliber .44-90 BN loaded with 92 grains of 2FG KIK black powder topped off with a 1/25 500 grain round nosed paper patched bullet.
We got with in 100 yards and strong winds that were blowing was a good distance to make a good shot placement right in the boiler room taking out the lungs with a clean pass through that made the young meat bull arch his back that told me it was a good hit. He went 50 yards and piled up never moving with a good one shot kill.
Good company with good friends. It just dont get any better than this.

Thank you Ron.

That .44 round barreled rifle is a fine shooter and it is starting to replace my .50 sharps I mostly use over the 6 other sharps rifles I have.


Dee.

There is a difference between the Bison and the Buffalo ;) and thank you it was a good hunt.
