I wish buffalo meat was more available, not talking ground, i mean real steak. When i was young my grandfather would go and stock his freezer from a buffalo meat farm in bloomfield ny, he'd spend $1400 and then sell steak on a stick at the native American festivals, i would eat whatever he couldnt catch me eating.m
Wow PP. 700 lbs. of meat that must have been a heck of an Elk and Muley!!!I think your approach is a good one though. Stay out of the woods until it is time. Over the years I have found that less is more. Meaning I see more deer when I hunt less.
