Re: ethical for bison
I took a few out last night with the Parker without any issue, 300 on the other hand does not seem to do very well even at close distance I was still shooting them 2-3 times to avoid a long tracking job.
Getting one with the Air gun is absolutely a goal haha

Re: ethical for bison
7 mm Magnum does a good job also: full broadside shot, from over 100 meters, both lungs wounded, death in 8 seconds.

Re: ethical for bison
I wasn't lucky with the 7mm but that might be because of the insane wobble we have atm.

Re: ethical for bison
Mine required 5 hits. I put one bolt into its eye and the bolt was pointing where the bison was looking (missed the brain from the side).Alphamale1956 wrote:JackRbbt wrote:Bison is like a tank!

Now, i know why Longbow is not allowed!
That's gonna make it awfully tough to complete missions where 100 % Harvest quality is required if you don't have the 45-70
But yeah. The bison puts the T-Rex in primal to shame.

Re: ethical for bison
I will try it as soon as my tracking for bison is lvl 16, as I need to be able to keep track of it's health, as I slowly take him down over a period of..... 5-10 hours or something probablyJackRbbt wrote:Now, that you have 3 x 50 pellets, it might be enough "ammo" for a try. Just in case, back up with 3 x 50 .22LR bullets.Rantanrave wrote:.... Just wait: I will take one of those down with the air rifle! People might claim I am slightly insane, but then again; they told me the same when I wanted to do it with a moose, and that didnt stop me from making it happen ^^
But I will do it, don't even think I won't do it! ^^

Try to headshot ? Do it this way(just not with this weapon ) :Derpy_McDerpyson wrote:Mine required 5 hits. I put one bolt into its eye and the bolt was pointing where the bison was looking (missed the brain from the side).

My best sniper shot on Bison so far was 170meters. Oh, i correct me, it was 1,70meters.Raptor02 wrote:Yeah I double lunged a bison at 160m+ with the 45-70 and didn't aim high. If I recall correctly the 45-70 has a rainbow trajectory at that distance irl. Kinda strange.
And yes, this one tried to T-Rex me

shoot them in the brain....1 shot they die.
Just make sure you hit the tiny brain with all that big head they got....

Re: ethical for bison
Well, when i use crossbow and an animal is paralyzed, i just load and shoot while walking toward him (save some time). For this bison i had time to shoot twice, until i reach him and watch him dies.gas56 wrote:If they're wounded on the ground....JackRbbt wrote:Bison is like a tank!
