Q: BloodBrother Ted, I've had this problem for several weeks now. My roommate is the only one with guns, and he won't share. The other week, he shot a rabbit, skinned it, and dropped it on the barbie. I got one little piece. It's clear that I have to either find new hunting methods (I have slingshots, knives, and a terrible hunting dog) or take the guns for a little while. What Would TheNuge Do?

A: A-Ahhhh, the mighty Cape Buf! You're in for some bigfun my friend. I have bowkilled numerous African Cape Buffalo with my bow dating back to 1978 in the Sudan. I remember it like it were today!! A 75# bow will do the job with a 600+ grain arrow and a razorsharp, strong 2 blade head like Magnus, Zwickey or Bear. Avoiding the massive shoulder blade is imperative. The most important preparation for dangerous game bowhunting is mental. Think BUFFALO!! Think DEATH! Why Buffalo? Why Death? Because your roommate is like a massive Buffalo! Bowfishin is a riot! Kill em all! As long as the arrow is properly spined & good 5" helical fletch is used, you got manmeat!!! IF the Great Spirit of awareness & discipline is with you!! I am!! Also, Fondle as many different guns as possible at your local gunshop. Ask many questions & go slow!! Start with a simple open sight .22 bolt. Get experienced direction & have huge fun!! Be the ultimate predator you can be and pick that ultra sweetspot right behind the shoulder at the top of the crease, 1/3 way up from the bottom. The beast MUST be broadside or slightly quartering away, but not too much of an angle. Did I mention THINK BUFFALO!! Get yuour predator mind right & shoot straight & celebrate the beast!! Goodluck!!
