Sako S20 Cerakote Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor Review I recently had the opportunity to purchase and test the Sako S20 Cerakote Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor, and I wanted to share my honest thoughts on this rifle. Overall, it has been a mix of intriguing features and some drawbacks that potential buyers should consider. Sako Pros: Build Quality: One of the first things that struck me was the impressive build quality of the S20. The materials used feel durable and robust, and the Cerakote finish not only looks great but also offers excellent resistance to scratches and corrosion. This is especially important for hunters who venture into rough terrains. Precision and Accuracy: Having tested the accuracy at the range, I was very pleased with the performance. The 51 cm barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor provides remarkable precision, making it a great choice for both long-range shooting and hunting scenarios. It delivers consistent groupings, which enhances confidence during a hunt. Ergonomics and Comfort

Review of the Benelli Argo Special .300 WM (7.62x67) I recently had the opportunity to test the Benelli Argo Special in .300 WM, and I must say, it left quite an impression. As a hunter and shooting enthusiast, I appreciate fine craftsmanship and reliable performance, both of which this rifle delivers. Build Quality and Design: The Argo Special boasts a robust construction with a sleek design. The wood stock is aesthetically pleasing and feels solid in hand, providing a nice balance. The metalwork is well-finished, with a matte coating that adds durability and reduces glare, which is essential during hunting trips. Accuracy and Performance: In terms of accuracy, the Benelli Argo Special does not disappoint. It offers impressive precision right out of the box, and after a few adjustments, it shot tight groups at various distances. The .300 WM caliber provides significant stopping power, making it a great choice for larger game. The recoil, while noticeable, is manageable thanks to th

muzeum zbraní Muzeí se stálými expozicemi zbraní máme v Čechách povícero. Jeho expozici totiž tvoří zbraně vzduchové, lidově řečeno vzduchovky. Co se vzduchovkami v myslivosti? Tak minimálně je to jejich úloha ve výcviku v zacházení se zbraní a cvičení ve střelbě. Ne všude můžeme střílet z kulovnice či malorážky. Už méně je známo, že vzduchovky, přesněji větrovky, tedy vzduchovky na stlačený vzduch, byly používány i v myslivosti, dokonce ve vojenství. V minulosti byl lov výsadou šlechty a s tím souviselo i právo držení zbraní. Ve sbírkách šlechtických rodů byly zastoupeny i větrovky a existují záznamy, že se dokonce používaly k lovu jelení zvěře. Výkon tehdejší větrovky se pohyboval v rozpětí 100 až 200 Joule, což je výkon pistolového náboje 6,35 Browning, malorážového náboje .22 long rifle apod. Tedy aby zásah byl účinný, musel být skutečně precizní. K částečnému oživení v používání větrovek v myslivosti došlo na přelomu 18. a 19.století, kdy konstruktér Girardoni sestrojil úspěšnou

Your National Rifle Association (NRA) has joined Safari Club International (SCI) and 22 other conservation organizations, representing millions of sportsmen and women across the country, in a letter to Interior Secretary Deb Haaland. These organizations “respectfully request that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) appeal the February 10, 2022, decision from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California vacating the 2020 rule removing the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) lists of endangered and threatened species.” In early 2020, the Service removed gray wolves in the lower 48 U.S. States from the ESA lists. Of course, anti-hunting groups immediately sued to put wolves back under the ESA. Although these groups acknowledged that some populations of gray wolves have recovered, they sought to force the Service to restore wolves everywhere—from Maine to Washington State. Your NRA, along with SCI, intervened in these suits to defend the Service’s s

Pennsylvania Will Finally Allow Limited Sunday Deer Hunting. Pennsylvania deer hunters have reason to celebrate after lawmakers have done away with a “blue law,” which prohibited hunting on Sundays in the Keystone State for more than 100 years. Gov. Tom Wolf is expected to sign the law, which will allow hunters to hunt one Sunday during rifle season, one Sunday during archery season, and one Sunday to be determined by the Pennsylvania Game Commission. The law also requires hunters to have written permission to hunt private land on Sunday (oral permission is fine on the other six days of the week.) Of course, it’s still up to private landowners to decide whether to allow hunting on their property. Sunday deer hunting has been illegal in Pennsylvania since the 1800s, although there are exceptions for coyotes, foxes, crows and non-commercial game preserves. Blue laws date back to a time when lawmakers thought it was appropriate to encourage people to attend church on Sunday instead of

Как выбрать патроны для охоты на крупного зверя Патроны для крупной дичи, такие как кабаны или олени, требуют особого подхода. Для такой охоты важно подобрать патроны, которые обеспечат мощный и точный выстрел, способный пробить толстую шкуру и кости. Калибр, масса пули и тип патрона — все это влияет на конечный результат. Рекомендуется выбирать тяжелые и устойчивые к ветру пули, особенно если охота будет проходить на значительном расстоянии. Помните, что снаряжение должно подходить под ваше ружье, чтобы избежать опасных ситуаций.

Field Tracking in GABÈS: Hunting Legislation, Laws, Demographics and Hunting Seasons in Tunisia Terrain Profile and Ecological Scope of Gabès Region Gabès lies in southeastern Tunisia where arid steppes, low mountain ridges, and desert fringes converge, creating a challenging and distinct hunting environment. The region transitions from coastal Mediterranean zones near the Gulf of Gabès into drier, rocky terrain as one moves inland toward Matmata and El Hamma. Vegetation is sparse and largely limited to drought-resistant shrubs, scattered acacias, and semi-arid scrubland, making the landscape highly open with minimal cover for wildlife. However, this very openness favors specific types of game and offers clear sightlines, particularly for those hunting small terrestrial species and birds adapted to desert conditions. Hunter Base and Regional Involvement of Tunisia The hunting community in Gabès is modest but active, especially in the interior delegations where traditional practices

Vector Optics Continental 4-24x56 34mm Tactical FFP Review As an avid hunter and long-range shooting enthusiast, I’ve had the opportunity to test the Vector Optics Continental 4-24x56 34mm Tactical FFP scope over several months in various conditions. Here’s my detailed and honest take on this optic, including its strengths and weaknesses. Pros: Optical Clarity: The glass is surprisingly clear for the price range. Minimal distortion at higher magnifications, and the light transmission is excellent, even in low-light conditions.

The 34mm tube adds rigidity, and the turrets are tactile with positive clicks. Illuminated Reticle: The illumination is bright enough for daytime use and has multiple brightness settings. The red illumination is crisp and doesn’t bleed. Versatility: The 4-24x magnificat

ZEISS Duralyt 2-8x42 with Illumination Review As an avid hunter and shooting enthusiast, I recently had the opportunity to test the ZEISS Duralyt 2-8x42 scope with illumination.

Pros: Optical Clarity: The ZEISS Duralyt features exceptional optical quality, and I was impressed by the sharpness and brightness of the images, even in low-light conditions. The multi-layer coating on the lenses does a fantastic job of enhancing light transmission, making it a reliable choice for early morning and dusk hunting.

With a range of brightness settings, it allowed me to adjust according to the surrounding light conditions effortlessly. The illumination is especially beneficial in low-light situations, providing excellent visibility without overwhelming the user. Durability: Built

Mountain hunting in 🇿🇦 South Africa? A target at 500, 600, 700 meters and even further? Yes! If these are the green hills of the Eastern Cape province and hunting wild pigs. 👍 A very interesting hunting format - tracking from afar, and then sneaking up on the mountains and, if possible, a long-range shot. 1️⃣ First, traditionally drive up by car, 2️⃣ then climb higher, find a comfortable position and 3️⃣ binoculars neighboring hills. Telescopes were very useful. Now is the most active time - the rut of wild pigs. No need for bait, ambush near water - this is unnecessary now. All the action is in the mountains and a patient hunter will not miss it! 👉 It is worth noting that the trophies of foothill pigs are excellent: the size is impressive, the weight is under 80-90 kg - this is not a warthog (!), but almost a bushpig. The fangs are also decent. The number of trophies for a 5-day tour is from several to several dozen. Depends on desire and possibilities. 👐 Who wants to spend a

ATA Arms SP 12ga (710mm Barrel) Review Alright, here's an honest and hopefully helpful take on the ATA Arms SP 12 gauge with a 710mm barrel, from a perspective of someone who's spent some decent time in the field and at the range: Having put a fair few shells through the ATA Arms SP, I think I can offer a reasonably balanced review. Full disclosure: I'm not a sponsored shooter or anything like that, just a hunter who appreciates a decent tool. The Good: Value for Money: This is where the ATA Arms SP really shines. You're getting a lot of shotgun for the price point. It's a solid, functional over-under that's significantly cheaper than some of the bigger European brands. For a beginner looking to get into clay shooting or bird hunting without breaking the bank, it's a very appealing option. Reliability: In my experience, the action has been reliably smooth. Ejection's been positive, and I haven't had any major mechanical failures so far. I've put a mix of light target loads a

Stoeger M2000 Wood 12/76 Shotgun Review I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with the Stoeger M2000 Wood, a semi-automatic shotgun that has been making waves in the hunting and shooting community. As someone who has been an avid shooter for several years, I wanted to share my thoughts on this firearm after using it extensively. The Stoeger M2000 immediately impresses with its aesthetic appeal. The wooden stock and forend give it a classic look that stands out in a market full of synthetic options. The wood is well-finished and feels robust, adding a pleasing tactile element to the gun. The action has a solid feel, and the overall construction seems durable, which is important for a firearm that is likely to see harsh outdoor conditions. Performance: One of the standout features of the M2000 is its performance. Chambered for 12 gauge shells up to 76 mm, it handles a variety of loads well, from light target loads to heavier magnum shells. The gas-operated system does a

SITKA Goes Under ‘Cover’ With Next-Gen Greener Camo When a brand chooses to "Go Green" these days, it tends to mean something completely different. It may seem like a new color to many, but the new palette at SITKA has a lot of hunters excited. OPTIFADE Cover is the first camo option from SITKA that brings increased levels of green and deeper shadows to its lineup. The brand worked with researchers at the University of Georgia Deer Research Lab to create the palette. The goal was to offer better concealment in “greener seasons,” with a focus on hiding hunters in densely vegetated areas and leafy tree environments. Regionally, the target audience for this new shift in shade was the eastern United States. Obviously, this isn’t going to be the top choice for golden grasslands or the red rock of the open badlands, but that isn’t what it’s meant for. Not only does Cover work well in the environments it was designed for, but it also works really well in lower-light, heavily shadowed land

First-class physical training is mandatory here: tracking mountain sheep occurs at an altitude above 3 thousand meters. m in difficult weather conditions and not for one or two days, but for weeks. Shooting in the mountains requires special training from the hunter. Not every professional sniper in the conditions of the plain is guaranteed to hit the target from a distance of 400-600 m. And a mountain trophy hunter after a week-long trek at an altitude of 3 thousand. m and above has a chance of only one accurate shot, which is measured in hundreds of meters.

Coyote hunting is one of the most common forms of predator hunting that humans partake in. There are not many regulations with regard to the taking of the coyote which means there are many different methods that can be used to hunt the animal. The most common forms are trapping, calling, and hound hunting. Since coyotes are colorblind, seeing only in shades of gray and subtle blues, open camouflages, and plain patterns can be used. As the average male coyote weighs 8 to 20 kg (18 to 44 lbs) and the average female coyote 7 to 18 kg (15 to 40 lbs), a universal projectile that can perform between those weights is the .223 Remington, so that the projectile expands in the target after entry, but before the exit, thus delivering the most energy. Coyotes being the light and agile animals they are, they often leave a very light impression on terrain. The coyote's footprint is oblong, approximately 6.35 cm (2.5-inches) long and 5.08 cm (2-inches) wide. There are four claws in both their front

St. Clair County Sheriff shares safety tips for deer firearms season Always tell someone where you are hunting and when you should be expected back home. Wear as much hunter's orange as possible to increase your visibility. Hunter's orange should be worn on the outermost layer of clothes and visible from all directions. For those recreating outdoors near hunting areas, such as hikers, wear orange so you can be seen by hunters. Obey "No Trespassing" signs. Check the forecast and dress for the weather. Carry some type of two-way communication device that receives service in remote areas. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded and do not put your finger on the trigger unless you are prepared to shoot. Check your equipment regularly and keep it well-maintained.

The Ruger American made this list for a specific reason: it represents today’s budget-priced hunting rifles, built using innovative methods to keep costs down and performance high. Though made primarily from investment cast steel and synthetic parts, the American is an accurate and useful tool for putting meat on the table. I’ve tested two examples and ended-up buying one of them. Two of the keys to the American’s performance are the three-lug bolt and v-block bedding arrangement, both of which contribute to its accuracy.

BASC - BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR SHOOTING AND CONSERVATION BASC plays a crucial role in preserving shooting traditions in UK while adapting them to meet modern standards of sustainability and ethics. The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) is one of the largest hunting organizations in the UK. TRADITION AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Shooting has deep historical roots in British culture, dating back centuries to medieval times when it was practiced by royalty and nobility. Over time, it became a popular pastime among rural communities, fostering connections between people and the natural world. The origins of BASC date back to the mid-19th century when hunting was an integral part of rural life in Britain. Initially founded as the "National Wildfowlers' Association" in 1865, the organization aimed to protect the rights of wildfowlers (waterfowl hunters) and promote ethical hunting practices. Over time, its scope expanded to include all forms of shooting—game birds, d

Generational family of hunters from Hersey says anyone can get into hunting Its not often that you see generations of hunting being passed down. But for the Livermore family, hunting isn’t just for the sport, its for the stories and experiences. “Just put down the cell phones and get out in the woods,” said father of the family, Trent Livermore. Wednesday is opening day for rifle season and the Livermore family took to the great outdoors. “You just got to get it. Get after it. You get you gotta, you can’t be afraid,” said Trent. Hunting was once predominantly done by adults and men, but recently more women and children have gotten into the sport. “I think a lot more women are getting into it, which is great to see. I think a lot more children are getting into it as well,” said mother of the family, Tammy Livermore.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife seeks elk poacher It’s definitely offseason for elk hunting, but someone didn’t get the message. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is looking for any leads in a recent poaching incident that occurred in Park County, Colorado around June 26. A large bull elk carcass was left to waste with the majority of the meat still there, according to Channel 9 News. CPW believes the elk was illegally shot between June 24 and 26 in the area between Como and Hartsel, west of Colorado Springs. The carcass was dumped along Pike National Forest Road 146. A high-power rifle was used and only the backstraps and one antler was removed. The rest of the carcass was left to rot. CPW is hopeful that campers or residents in the Tarryall area or the Indian Mountain Buffalo subdivisions may have seen something related to the crime. “This was a senseless and disgraceful act which demonstrates a complete disregard for Colorado’s wildlife,” said Ian Petkash, CPW District Wildlife Mana

While I’ve been blessed to travel North America in search of big whitetails, I live and hunt mostly in Kentucky. But, growing up, I didn’t have enough access to let properties soak until gun season. I only had one or two places to go, and I wanted to hunt. I’m more avid about bowhunting than gun hunting anyway. So, it just never made sense to not hunt at the earliest opportunity. Then, in 2015, I started leasing another property, which gave me additional access here at home. Since then, except for a few seasons, the practice has been to leave the property unhunted until rifle season in November. My anecdotal theory is that whitetails will get pressured by neighboring bowhunters, which will push deer onto the lease, ultimately “stacking” deer onto it for gun season. Furthermore, if I or another lease member happen to pressure a mature deer once gun season opens, it’s less likely to vacate the area given that the rut is already in motion. Interestingly, studies show bucks are less lik

To me this dichotomy represents the greatest draw of hunting hares: They’re routinely elusive but occasionally attainable, at once an animal that children’s hunting dreams are made of yet still wholly capable of making even the wisest feel like an idiot. I hunt hares exclusively with a rimfire rifle equipped with open sights. Yes, beagles and shotguns and loyal compatriots would probably be more effective, but I prefer to give the hare his refuges of invisibility and speed. If I can bag him in spite of those advantages, I like to think I’ve surmounted some pinnacle of woodsmanship and truly deserve the added weight in my vest. Or maybe I’m just full of it

Small Game Alaska As we pushed our way through the waist deep snow the big snowshoe hare just sat there and waited. His “white” camouflage blended perfectly with the snow, but not quite good enough to keep me, and my 8-year old son, Eli from pushing forward. With each step I figured he would bolt, but he didn’t so we decided to keep moving towards him. I slowly raised the BowTech bow and settled the pin. In most states hunting small game usually takes a back seat to hunting big game, especially here in Alaska. With moose, caribou and sheep practically around every corner most people forget that the state also harbors some of the finest small game pursuits in the country. As hunters we all live for the fall and rightly so. Bears, sheep and goats are constantly on our minds and we absolutely cannot wait until the season opens. Like most people who chase animals either with a bow, rifle or shotgun it becomes a totally obsession that drives us not only throughout the year, but als

After deer season closes, rabbit hunting offers up an exciting pastime in the winter months. It's a different rush from the explosion of grouse hunting or the majesty of flushing a mallard at dawn, but rabbit hunting has its particular draws. Rabbit hunting is a new kind of challenge, and a fun one, for many hunters. The burst of brown fur out of the underbrush, followed by the fluid movement of your rifle, spurs adrenaline through your body. Rabbits are plentiful, so, if you find them, you can usually put a few away for future meals of yummy rabbit stew. It's a great way to get novice hunters and youngsters out there, especially in a season that doesn't have too many options for hunting. You don't need a pack of dogs to go rabbit hunting; you can head out on a solo hunt with a single shot and a pocketful of shells and be just as successful. By studying rabbits' defensive strategies, understanding their hiding places, and being patient, you'll be well on your way to bagging a few

Setup trail cameras around major summer food sources (more on this below) and on trails to those food sources. Find tips on how to hang trail cameras properly, here. Trail camera pictures are only as useful as you make them. At the most basic level, they tell you if nice bucks are around. But what you’re really trying to figure out is where those nice bucks are heading, where they’re coming from, and where they might be vulnerable. To do that, you’ve got to really read the pictures, not just flip through them. For example, look to see if one of your target bucks is hanging out with a bachelor group of smaller bucks. That way, even if you don’t keep getting photos of the big buck, but capture shots of the smaller bucks, you can still gamble on the big buck’s general whereabouts (some of the wariest bucks are good at avoiding cameras). Years ago I got a trail camera shot of a buck with muddy legs. That told me he probably crossed a nearby swamp before coming out to feed. https://www.yo

Deep Water Haunts Bass fishing this time of year often corresponds with deep water. In much of the country, bass move offshore and school up to chase open-water baitfish. Offshore structure and cover like river ledges, deep weed beds, rock piles, wing-dams, and deep boat docks can all be dissected with a drop-shot. It particularly excels as a clean-up hitter. Once you catch a few fish from an offshore hot-spot using traditional cranking and worm techniques, pitch a drop-shot in and see what bites. It will often surprise you. The key to this style of fishing is to get the boat near, or over your target. From there, let the bait down until it makes contact with the bottom, and begin a series of light shakes of the worm. You want the bait to move, but not the sinker. This sounds touchy, but it’s easy to get the hang of it. Most experienced drop-shot fishermen call this “shaking slack.” After a little practice, you’ll get the feel of allowing your bait to flutter and sink on a slack line,

Turkey hunting can be a dangerous sport. If you turkey hunt, this article could save your life or prevent you from taking a life. I don’t know directly or indirectly a person who has been shot deer hunting but I know indirectly through a friend that a hunting partner of his was killed and directly a friend of mine was shot but survived while turkey hunting. Here are some tips to prevent you from being shot or accidentally shooting someone else. • No. 1 rule, always completely and positively identify your target before you pull the trigger. All turkey hunters know to make the best kill shot, you must aim for the head of a gobbler. Shooting the body of a gobbler may only wound it. Never shoot at movement. • Since the colors of a gobbler’s head are red, white and blue, never wear those colors in the woods. Wear full camo so a hand or face isn’t mistaken for a gobbler’s head. • When setting up for a turkey to call, always try and set against a big tree that will protect your back and

Hunting in Brazil: What are the options? Abstract In Brazil most forms of hunting and keeping of wild animals are illegal, although they remain widely practiced and are deeply culturally embedded in many regions. The drivers of such widespread non-compliance are poorly understood and evidence to support future policy decisions is generally lacking. In this paper, we seek to stimulate a critical debate on how to deal with hunting in Brazil by analysing the main factors driving non-compliance with current legislation. This is particularly timely given that several amendments to existing legislation are currently under consideration. Our analysis suggests that, while there are no simple solutions to non-compliance, a targeted suite of the following policy options could improve the monitoring, sustainability and conservation consequences of hunting in Brazil: (i) simplifying the process to become a registered subsistence hunter; (ii) expanding participation in licensing schemes; (iii) inv

Sytong XM 03-50 LRF Review I recently had the opportunity to test the Sytong XM 03-50 LRF, and here's my honest assessment of this product. Firstly, the build quality of the scope is commendable. It feels robust and well-made, able to withstand rough handling in the field. The design is sleek and modern, which is a plus for those who appreciate aesthetics in their gear. The optics are impressive for the price point. The clarity and brightness of the image are noticeable, even in low-light conditions. The 50mm objective lens does a great job of gathering light, making it suitable for dawn and dusk hunting trips. However, I did find some distortion at the edges at full zoom, which may be a downside for some users. The integrated laser rangefinder (LRF) is a significant feature that adds value to the XM 03-50. It delivers accurate readings relatively quickly, which is essential for making precise shots. However, I experienced some occasional lag in the reading, especially at longer di

The nilgai antelope “Blue Bull” • Native to India and Pakistan. The second largest antelope species in the world! • I took the Marlin Model 1895 Guide Gun to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas to hunt the very special and and majestic ecosystem along the coastline known as the El Sauz, managed by the East Foundation. This nearly 30,000 acre free range property managed for their cattle operation is teaming with wildlife, and its range though excellent for the cattle also provides perfect habitat for the Nilgai. • As part of the properties management plan for its cattle, Wildlife Systems manages the nilgai which happen to be direct competition for the cattle, and due to their size they equally require the same range and food source that the cattle require • Using the lever gun in 45-70 topped with a Trijicon Credo 1-6x24 scope and using Hornady Leverevolution Ammo in 325gr FTX was perfect for this hunt. These bulls are big! And it takes a heavy grained bullet to bust the heavy should

These are one of the most important hunting tips for starters. Stealth and Silence Always be as quiet as you possibly can. Even the faintest twig, branch, clothing and equipment rattling will alert the animals. Dress appropriately, gear up lightly, and don’t use velcro clothing or anything that would make a lot of noise. Navigating Your Surroundings Become acquainted and scout out the hunting area. Depending on which game animals you hunt, it’s always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the perimeter, and use landmarks so you won’t get lost. Patience Goes a Long Way Many hunters don’t have the patience to acquire a clean shot. There’s a lot of waiting, but it pays off in the end when a deer appears on your scope. Persistence is key. Mind Your Scent Animals have heightened senses, and it’s a good idea to become as odorless as possible. There are many chemicals and cosmetic products that mask your scents. That means no smoking, no alcohol, and no smelly food. The wind factor is a

These days there are very few new products that I would actually call a “game changer.” Many are truthfully nothing more than a twist on an old idea or a slight improvement over something already available. When I first saw the new Primos Double Bull SurroundView hunting blinds at the January trade shows, I instantly said to myself, “game changer.” When I was able to hunt Axis deer in south Texas from one with a rifle in June, my opinion didn’t change. Since then I’ve had one at home and have been playing with it a lot in anticipation of some summer bow hunts. All I can say is, it’s something else. If you’re familiar with Double Bull pop-up blinds, then you need no convincing of their ruggedness and an interior configuration that's design is one that's well thought-out by hunters. My only beef with Double Bull blinds over the years is that, while their hub-and-pole system makes them solid as a rock once erected, putting up and taking the blinds down can be a bit of a challenge until

The Cape Buffalo is considered by some to be the most dangerous of all of the Big Five. While he seems docile enough when viewed undisturbed in the herd, when agitated or wounded this bovine can be extremely aggressive, vindictive, and cunning. Found all over southern Africa in herds of various sizes, the buffalo can weigh up to 1800 pounds. He is primarily a grazer but an occasional browser who must drink every day. They favor the thick bushveld during the day, leisurely moving and grazing as they go. At night they tend to herd up to protect the young from their archenemy, the lion. Both sexes carry horns, however, the horns of a bull can be quite spectacular in spread, with a deep curl and a solid boss covering the forehead. Cows lack the boss, but can have a very wide spread; in fact, the world record buffalo on file in the Roland Ward record book is a cow with a spread of some 62 inches. With a well-placed shot, a rifle of .375 caliber is adequate for the Cape buffalo. However, a
