Taking a Buffalo with the Marlin 1895 SBL 45-70

- We're here at the Hartais ranch in Southern Colorado with my friends from Axil, Collin Russel with Chevalier Advertising, John from the @Thebiggamehuntingblog, Adam also known as @WHOTEEWHO and Freddy Hartais @StonewallTheOutfitter , a Hunting TV star and owner of the Harteis Ranch and Properties and all around a good dude.. I’ve been invited to embark on an adventure in taking my first Buffalo, properly referred to as the American Bison.
I have been hinting about this adventure on my videos for quite a while now, and now we’re finally here.

One important fact about myself… I have NEVER taken big game before, so I am EXCITED to share this experience with you all.
A big question everyone asks is what is the purpose of hunting? Is it the excitement of the kill? Is it the massive amounts of meat that I will be able to feed my family with? To be honest, for me its a little bit of it all. More importantly, this is proof to myself that I don’t need to rely on a grocery store to feed my family. The thought of harvesting and eating the meat that I took is a great feeling of accomplishment. I can’t tell you the reasoning why others do what they do, but this is mine.
Hope you all enjoy!

Was it free range bison
Def not a hunting trip...but the coolest trip to the grocery store ever. Well done.
How else do you kill a buffalo?
Chase it off a canyon?
It’s not exactly a mountain goat
What a humane round, that big guy looks like he didn't feel a thing, very respectful to the animal I appreciate it, great video!
Agreed. It's ironic of me but I'm a huge animal fan (got 3 dogs) but also like to eat meat. I feel sorrow if they ever suffer
@@jpara617 me as well, we have to eat, and just like any other animal we will kill a weaker animal for food. The only kind of hunter I don’t like is the kind that hunts for sport and doesn’t do anything with the meat, like it’s one thing to sell the skin and sell to a butcher if you aren’t going to use the animal, but then there’s people who will just kill it, take their picture, and then walk away that makes me so mad, bringing a bad name to Hunter everywhere and only killing just to kill, but yeah I definitely love me some steak and such!
@@fettuccine723 I 1,000 percent agree
Thank you brother, I appreciate that!
@@fettuccine723Shut up! There is nothing wrong with sport hunting. The only reason we have animals to hunt is because of sport hunters.
I'm not sure this can be considered, "hunting". More like just shooting fish in a barrel. Am I missing something? All of them are already tagged. I think this is like a, hey, pay your money and you can shoot my buffalo for the right price. Am I wrong?
That's exactly what this is. No different than walking into a petting zoo with a rifle
I mean he never claimed to hunt the bison he did say “take” it’s still a cool experience you can’t really do many places. Hes still harvesting clean meat for his family!
Yeah this ain’t hunting at all..
yea well you're welcome to stalk and hunt buffalo out on the great plains, youre maybe just a 100 years too late for that. This is the closest thing to hunting buffalo you can do. And for clarification he said the title says "TAKING a Buffalo with the Marlin 1895 SBL 45-70" not hunting
I dont know if youve ever been high fence deer hunting before its not as easy as you think. Most of the ranches are 4000+ acres, usually youre hunting a specific deer you may never see. People who have not done it knock it because they dont know. It sounds like they usead all of fhe animal that they could so what does it matter. The food you eat is killed in a pen.
Its videos like this that work to take the stigma away people might have about hunters and hunting. Great job guys...
Great video @MrBigKid. It was a pleasure meeting and hunting with you!
Thank you Brother! Likewise man. I’d love to do some more adventures with you in the future!
By no means would I consider this hunting but a pretty neat experience to be able to harvest a ranched buffalo 🙂
Yeah I was very careful to try not to use the term hunting. That’s why I used harvest, dispatch, etc
This is the furthest thing from hunting lol.
@@bitcoingeorge6437 further than going to a grocery store and buying it?
100%; you're shooting essentially domesticated animals. But still a good way to "harvest" your own meat.
@@bitcoingeorge6437alr mr blockchain
Great crew of guys. I’ve hunted exclusively with my 45-70 my limited time on earth, my first bison taken dropped 20 feet from where it stood. Such and awesome round.
Those white buffalo are wild looking! Never seen an adult one before 🔥🔥
Way to thank God. Very important part and I’m glad you added it
Thanks brother!
Great white Buffalo sighting!. Ted would be proud.
Haha the great white Buffalo!
So cool brother! Gotta say, pretty cool getting the opportunity to hunt on a ranch for your first time. Have never had that opportunity. The fellas talking about hunting, the average guy and striking out...he's spot on. It's about the adventure and working together and the fellowship. Getting a chance to get your first kill and partake in the process of skinning/cleaning the meat is one of those things you'll never forget. It is definitely a blessing. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing experience. Hope one day we can link up for a hunt somewhere.
I would love to man! I guess the deer hunting is pretty awesome here in TN. We should link up!
@Broccoli Rob I've posted a tad bit of my hunting adventures over the years, but never have anyone with me to help film. I should have some stuff from deer season this year if things go right.
Good old Colorado!!!!
Born and raised LOVE IT AND WILL NEVER LEAVE!!!!!!!
At about @7:27 my mouth started watering uncontrollably. 😋 I'm off to cook some beef steak now. Thanks for sharing this awesome harvest.
Ahaha I appreciate you watching! I am beyond excited to try out some BBQ with the meat!
Congratulations!! Good shot, and now you are bison burger happy!!🍔
Oh so much meat, the family is stoked!
Super video fellas. Whoo T Whoo is a classic marksman and puts out great stuff for us to learn from. Thanks to the whole crew for bringing us along for the hunt. I want to go on the next one. You guys seem like a blast to hang out with and go about the sport with HONOR just like our natives and forefathers.
The first shot didn’t even scare it😂
The power of 45-70 👍
Heck yeah man! It was a thumper brother!
Great video, Who Tee Who sent me.
Thanks Leonard! Welcome to the family!
Such a great week!
It was brother! That last day of the hunt was incredible!
@@MrBigKid so much fun
You guys are living my dream.. keep it up and Godspeed. 👍🏻👍🏻
Looks like a great time!
It was brother! Such a great experience.
Good video. A list of gear used is always helpful for hunters who want to do a similar hunt.
Fantastic video! Keep scratching that hunting itch brother!
Thank you brother! We got an antelope too! That video will follow up in a few weeks lol!
Greetings from Alaska. After years and years of packing a Mossberg 500 with an an 18" barrel and rifle sights, I decided to to retire the old girl and I now pack around a Marlin GBL with 430 grain hard cast flat point, also by Buffalo-Bore. Not sure they still carry it any longer, but the box says 1800fps@ and over 3600 ft lbs of energy at the muzzle. It's a beast of a round at both ends.
Holy cow man. Chills. Very very well done on this.
Thank you brother! I appreciate that!
It’s so awesome when I see a person giving thanks to God our creator
God bless you brother in Jesus Christ and congratulations
Thanks brother, that means a lot! Blessings right back!
One of my dream hunts
That place looks pretty familiar in fact pretty sure I got pics of this herd lol
Thanks for a nice video! Are there any particular seasons in the U.S. for hunting bisons?
Looked like everyone was taking neck shots. Is that what the guide/outfitter recommended? They all certainly went right down. When are you smoking the bison brisket?😋
Yessir! They recommended taking neck shots for instant lights-out.
I’m definitely thinking about trying to make some bison BBQ!
@@MrBigKid One would definitely want those bruisers down fast. That is a lot of meat to haul and every step saved, man or mule, is important.
… that BB is the hottest factory 45-70 ammo I know of … my shoulder will agree … the HSM bear load is a close second
What an awesome video. Thanks for posting!!
Thank you brother!
Nice bro
Thanks brother!
ive been going nuts to get a 45.70! i already started buying ammo. im commited , i prefer new but wont rule out a used one! lol
I don't fault any hunter who takes game responsibly & I know hunter's are a necessity to keep animal population healthy. But I don't know if I'd have it in me, or how I'd feel taking that life?? I'm sure my emotions would be all over the place. But I do enjoy watching hunting video's weird huh lol?? Great shot great video.
I agree, great way to harvest your own meet regardless. I think as hunters staying emotional and respecting the life of the animal is a good thing. Great video
@@chrismartin4335 absolutely
Awesome video, well done!
Thank you Brother!
@Text me₊₁ ₍₆₁₄₎ ₉₄₃₋₄₇₅₈ moron
That’s a lot of meat right there. Dressing your harvest is always a job lol. I’ve always been able to harvest deer and elk yearly, except now I go down to AZ and miss the November season. Be blessed brother.
Ah man dressing was a few hours with a team! You should put in for some AZ hunts! Northern AZ is beautiful elk country!
@@MrBigKid hmmmm.
350 grain what? You didn't mention the make and model of the bullet
This was awesome thanks for sharing your experience
Can that riffle be used for deer hunting and the occasional hogs?
Sure can.
Who tee whooo
Not a hunter myself, at least not yet, but i'm glad they don't suffer and they're not wasted. what do they do with the hide?
The way you guys package this video with music and heroic emotion as you pick off tagged buffalo like fish in a barrel is so lame. I get that they're for meat and not even against that but man the way you present yourselves doing it is tiktok influencer levels of cringe
This isn’t hunting. I feel bad for people who do this kind of shooting of an animal and think they are getting a true hunting experience.
When did I say this was hunting?
Don’t feel bad for me… I got 300 lbs of bison meat in my freezer which has been feeding my family for over a year.
You have another video. The rifle I’m taking on my Colorado bison hunt marlin 45-70. So I guess that’s when you said hunting bison 🦬.
Hand fed bison. Tough hunting
When did I say this was hunting?
@@MrBigKid the music, plotline, and edit 100% imply you're hunting even though you never say the word lol
Looked like a gaggle of cowards shooting tamed animals that should be federally protected until their numbers rebound. 31,000 left in the wild and you guys just scratched 3 off that number. People like you give hunting a bad reputation.
Bro told us his whole loadout. Drip and all. 💀💀💀
Nice quality on this vid Stevie boy.
Thank you brother! How’ve you been man?
@@MrBigKid Doing good with the family and ready to have more outdoor time now that weather is cooling. How's the new state treating you so far? I like the evolution of your videos. Keep up the good work.
Do you have any issues with using a cantilever mount? It looks like it would be really tall
Im a new sub , one of who tee who's . Buffalo is good eating meat .
Thanks and welcome to the family Steve! I am excited to get this mountain of meat delivered!
Lotta strong adjectives you're using to describe pulling up to what is essentially a cattle pen and shooting a beef.
Congrats man! I know that South Park country well. Looked at those buffalo herds for years
Thanks brother! It was an incredible experience!
That’s a lot of burgers there.
So delicious!
Yes you don't need a grocery store, only $8k for that guided bison hunt smh
@@Franzthemanz14 Well it wasn’t really a hunt, and this was way over 8k. However I was blessed to be invited to this experience, capture content, and eat for years.
Beautiful creatures
Woooooooo
That round carries a punch
Next time try to find an animal without an ear tag and a barb wire fence behind it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! killin animals inside a fence is fine just don't try and pass it off as a hunting adventure !
Exactly how much did all this cost? Like from the ranch to shipping…
Hard to say, I was blessed to be invited to the experience So I never saw a bill.
you went to a grocery store lol
Nice. How are the bisons doing today in us. Are there enough now in the wild ? Greetings from Amsterdam
Less than 31,000. These idiots are shooting animals that need to be protected until their numbers rebound. Just because something is legal doesn't mean it should be done
Hello from Miami, I have a question, what is the effective range of that round?
google is free
150 yds.
At what distance did your Marlin kill the buffalo?
The high cost of processing that bison will take a bite out of you. Good to donate a portion to the poor families. A fella said that buffalo meat is quite tasty, say better than beef.
I wish to learn from you. Take me with you next time.
I didn't realize it till I saw the bridge but that's my buddies dads ranch I got my further kill there it was a coyote at 880 yards!!! this is awesome
Just a.question...did you get things worked out with youtube. Another great video. Nice gun shooting hot loads
Thanks brother! Yessir YT finally turned around the monetization issues!
@@MrBigKid
Good to hear. Some say at times it takes months. It's just hard for me to figure who they are picking on when channels all seem similar. They aren't demonitizing hickock or demolition ranch. Did the fellow who posted the long comment on you taking your bison take his comment down?
Id rather people did this, than the miserable existence and end most cattle endure.
Love the vid and the rifle. However, please lower that scope so you can get at least a chin weld on the comb. Fundamentals are king 👍🏽🇺🇸
I would only do this if my life depends on it, this is the aspect of owning guns I personally don't like so I have stayed away. I want this rifle badly but thinking of it more to have it as a companion on a wilderness dream Alaska trip. Impressive how much real good meat one can get out of one of these but I know I can not bring myself past the shooting the animal just because; I would had no problem shooting it to defend my life but what would be the chances of me being close to a Bison herd prepared with this rifle? Very well presented video, it strikes me weird how you describe the good things we have and experience in life in contrast with the life you are about to take; wonder if it crossed your mind? Ultimately I am not against people hunting or their choices at all; I just don't think I can bring myself to enjoy it. It always have been a though place for me so I enjoyed 99 percent of the video except for the animal dying. It is one of those things!
That is a pretty common thought, however...
This bison has now fed my family for two months, and will continue feeding my family for many more months to come. It is much easier to just "buy a steak" from a grocery store and not have the blood on your hands from killing that cow you are about to enjoy.
I guess in my thought process, I feel proud that I had the ability to harvest my own food for my family.
In general, if you eat meat at all... it was once a living creature. Watching the Bison die was not fun, in fact I felt a big wave of remorse. I also said a prayer thanking god for the opportunity, and thanking the Bison for feeding my family. I don't regret the harvest at all... In fact in a twisted way, I feel like it was more honorable to kill it myself instead of making someone else do the dirty work for me.
Now if I injured the bison, I would feel very bad. However a spine shot means instant painless lights-out.
@@MrBigKid I read you laud and clear, it is no fun the killing part but the benefits outpaces that in most cases. I stopped eating meat some time ago constantly still eat here and there and it would be the same as killing that cow in a way; to me if I am about in the wilderness and have to survive and have the means to do so is how I could only justify to myself faking the animal’s life other than defending my own; I guess I could be friend to them but wild animals are not friend to us; I have never tasted bison or even deer and I have always thought if I did I might change my mind about taking that shot; everything is relative in life, understand my respects for the animal life now does not means I could not change it someday but as it has not happened up until now I dont see how it would any time soon. It was nice to pray and thank God and the bison for its meat, many hunters dont even do that.
@@fireyourrocketts I can definitely appreciate that man.
That was a harvest.
Sure was…
Amazing
Is it really hunting when they have ear tags lol and are raised like cattle
Welcome to the world of American bison.
I didn’t mention this was hunting, this was a harvest. We went out and hunted antelope the following day.
We're these antelope eating from someone's hand when you shot it?
@@j.r.8592dum as a box of rox
Great video! Love the gear drop in the begging, I’m always interested what people use, great touch!
Thanks Wesley!
45-70, 3 shots? How about, 1 shot........1 kill? I've hunted with the 45-70 for 50+ years, it's Thor's hammer if you do your part.
31,000 bison left in the wild in America and you guys just "hunted" 3 of them. Ive hunted my entire life and what you guys did is no different than shooting a tame deer at a petting zoo. Absolutely sickening and you all should be ashamed
It’s a farm raised bison meant for food. 350lbs of meat has treated my family very well… Don’t trip while getting off your high horse.
@@MrBigKid I'm sorry I offended you by having some form of ethics and refusing to kill a federally protected animal. Have you ever hunted anything that wasn't fenced in and tame?
@@j.r.8592They aren’t fenced in. It’s on a HUGE ranch, and while they are grown for meat, the Bison are free range. Not once did he claim to be hunting, that’s why he specifically said “taking” them.

@j.r.8592 your "ethics" are fake AF and ignorant to boot. 🤡
Is this a hunting clip or a commercial??
more of a harvest than a hunt
Do you guys eat the meat ?
Absolutely! Healthier than beef
1 year that's how long a moose last with us. Not enough when u gotta feed a big family
Why does it look like its in a fence
This is why its your best protection against a grizzly
What tripod are you using?
I’m not sure what tripod they brought, but I believe it might be a vortex?
In Jesus name Amen to your hunt and may God bless you family and friends with many more in Jesus name Amen.
Live off the land brother s and sisters its the only way.
We cannot let the government take away our rights especially agriculturally
Like the hunting experience, but that was target shooting in my opinion. Bisons standing there and get shot down. Go get elks on a few days chasing trip man
I thought bison were an endagered animal. Weren't they hunted to near extinction in the old west?
Back in the 1800’s they were almost wiped out. Thanks to ranches over the past century, they were able to repopulate.
Cool
is there a particular reason you tried to shoot its neck?
Instant lights out and circuitry shut off.
A bison can keep going for quite a while when hit in the lungs or heart.
@@MrBigKid i See
I just learned to allways shoot the engine room but then again on a spine the size of that id also feel comfortable shooting that
That's hilarious. You don't even have to stalk. Come to the Northern Territory of Australia mate. Barefoot buffalo hunting....
Well this wasn't really a hunt, but a buffalo harvest. Are you inviting me on a Barefoot buffalo hunt??
@@MrBigKid Ah sorry brus didnt meant o sound narky ! Still a beautiful cull . Mate if you get down here I can put you into herds of monster asiatics about 2.5 hours from my front door. No cost !
Sir this is like shooting a cow absolutely not hunting this is just killing no sport in this at all
🤡
wow
🦬🦬🦬
Have.1895 sbr...enjoy it...also enjoy nature and the sight of big animals .but be hard press to kill one...just my convictions...no need..but recress..a need. Butt all good...if needed its there. Very capable if need be for any..
Amazing and emotional video Steve. Well done!
Thank you!!
High fence
since when is this called hunting?
@@Djmorton-go5mt since when did I call it hunting?
@@MrBigKid You definitely didn't post a video about the rifle you are taking on your "buffalo hunt" 😂I'll also pretend I didn't read the paragraph in the video description about what hunting means to you because I'm feeling generous!
Are you hunting farm animals ? :D
I’m harvesting farm animals, no hunting required
I notice how you tried not to call this hunting, using instead, words like "dispatched". I agree that buffalo aren't really something that we "hunt", given their slow tendencies. Overall, I enjoyed the video, and it was pretty neat to see other people I watch, like WHOTEEWHO.
Amen to the fellowship brother!!
Call me old fashioned or ignorant to bison hunting but I prefer actually hunting something instead of driving up to a tagged animal and just shooting it.
Please leave the bison alone haven't we learned anything.😮
Not much of a challenge. Those bison same size of a steer. I will be going to South Dakota for mine. Much larger, like twice the size
That’s cool you will get the opportunity, however wouldn’t you think a larger bison = larger target?
You lost me with that scope mount🤦♂️
Why? I am curious to know why you think the mount is a problem.
@stevenjeffrey4637 it is so high.
It's got a tag in its ear .. come on
All american bison do.
