Another "where would you shoot this Buffalo?"

[FlowHamed18]

I found this picture online and I would be very interested in your opinion regarding the best shot placement.

So which spot would you choose?

 

[Altitude sickness]

Any of them will work. Blue and red are on the bone and if you have the proper bullet and rifle are no problem.

With a bow or lighter rifle/bullet maybe I lean towards the green.

This quartering towards position with the front right leg in front is not ideal. One more step would open up the chest and move that shoulder back exposing a much more favorable shot.

My vote is to wait. If I were pressed, I'd want at least a .416 caliber and aim at the green.

 

[Tally-Ho HUNTING SAFARIS]

Any of them will do
I would prefer red though

 

[WAB]

Red

How I would have liked to often shoot at buffaloes standing like that !

I would aim for red, but depending on the circumstances I might then also hit blue or green.

 

[Flipper Dude]

I’d go right on the middle of that triangle.

Cuz I like to be difficult, I suppose.

 

[Green Chile]

I would split the front leg gap and go green but at the height of the red dot...base of the neck is better than lower. Having said that, I might also see if he looks forward for a better broadside shot. All depends on what has been happening and the wind. If he's looking but we have the wind, I would wait a bit.
