Wow...a hang fire while hunting buffs would be pretty scary! Any rifle malfunction hunting buffs would be scary!
Congratulations on your hunt. Hang fire would make things a little tense. I'd love to see those Buffalo trophies....
Thanks for sharing and congrats. Would also love to see some buff photos- and some pictures of your rifles- sounds like you have some very nice ones!
sounds like you had yourself some , also sounds like your P.H is a professional , of note would love to see the photos, you must of seen some sites walking that far each day...... mustve been a great hunt
Sounds likea special time. A hang fire doesn't sound like fun. That can cause a whole buch of unpleasent things to happen. Pics are fairly easy to post. We'd love to see a selection from your hunt. Bruce
Hang fire on a federal load.....wow how rare is that! Glad it wasn't on a charge. Love to see pictures.
