I listened to it. He completely contradicted himself in the first 10 minutes by talking about a Buffalo that took ten minutes to expire when shot through the vitals with a 6.5 creed and how it was borderline unethical. Then almost immediately telling a story about a 300 win mag shot through the vitals took exactly the same time and that was unfortunate but ok. Basically the only real thing I took away from the episode ; don't shoot Buffalo in the lungs if you want them to die quickly, aim high shoulder or base of skull. That is unless you shoot his 35 whelen which is much better than a 300 win mag at killing bison for some reason unbeknownst to anyone anywhere. Won't tell you to skip it, but won't tell you to listen either. It really seems that he can't look at the data that he himself is actually presenting objectively. It's tiresome and I personally won't be giving it more any more bandwidth.

Some people just need to make noise because silence doesn't sell.

I listened out of morbid curiosity.
I especially like “if you can’t shoot a heavy caliber rifle for physiological reasons, learn to shoot with your weak arm.”

“We had a little old lady shoot one with a 243 and a 105 gr soft point exactly right through the lungs and it didn’t fall over so she shot it 4 more times in the lungs and it took 8 minutes to die and covered 500 yards and we recovered all those bullets under the hide on the offside. Don’t shoot big game with small calibers.
We shot a buffalo with a 28 Nosler and a 160 Accubond straight through the lungs and hit the heart and couldn’t get another shot and it walked 500 yards and took 8 minutes to die. Gosh they are tough. Don’t use small calibers on big game. “

Pretty sure those are braincells I’ll never get back.

Gotta shave the shoulder manes before season, everyone knows the rules. Body Hair Bible
have to hand it to this forum. Here I was going into the wild with bushy shoulders to avoid friendly fire fatalities, but the .223 thread has proven conclusively I am fooling myself about the protection that provides.

On the plus side, I’ll need to pack less TP on account of the dingleberries after I shave the Gen z mustache I sport in my FL kiln bottoms.
