Thanks for all the great comments guys.
This really was a memorable experience and fantastic hunt. I can confirm that Buffalo hunting is addictive. I must also say how privileged I feel having been able to hunt during the Pandemic. I really feel for you guys stuck in lockdowns and missing long anticipated hunts.
Trust me it will be even more worthwhile when you do get out there!
I also just wanted to share some pics of the bullet performance from my Woodleigh softs that I used on the buff.

This bullet was recovered in the back of the stomach - full of grass - after the frontal shot. I must say, it fragmented more than I had expected. It did however retain approximately 82% of its weight even given the way it looks.
The second bullet certainly performed better in my view and was found in the shoulder after my second shot. this one retained in excess of 87% of its weight and mushroomed nicely with good jacket performance.

Would like to hear peoples thoughts on this performance. Anyone experienced similar with Woodleigh's?
