    If I needed the food and planned to use the whole animal, yes. If I just felt like I wanted a bison (buffalo) burger, no.

    Waste not, want not.

    With a Lever Action 45-70 and utilize as much of the animal as I possibly could.

    Depends on whether that buffalo put tomatoes on a cheese sandwich and insisted on calling it a "grilled cheese." Then, yeah, I might have to kill him. Unless he just called it a cheese and tomato sandwich. Then we'd be cool.

    Buffalo are pretty reasonable, but can get kind of lazy with their sandwich nomenclature. You gotta stay on top of that. Otherwise, anarchy.

    Just to be clear, we're not talking about this guy, right?

    Couldn't do it... if we ran out of meat somehow, my family & I would have to learn to be vegetarian. Unless, of course, my hubs killed & cleaned it, then I would cook it up 100 different ways :smile: Does it taste gamey like lamb? If so, I still wouldn't eat it.


    If you think for one second that lamb ( tender, delicious lamb) tastes gamey, you must have had mutton. Or venison.

    I have killed plenty of animals for food. Why would a buffalo be any different?

    you must have had American Lamb, as naturally raised lamb is gamey even more so when your used to US commercial meats.
    American Lamb is raised eating grain similar to US beef mixture of grains/animal by-product and misc other things it leads to a imo semi-bland meat its also larger in physical size then naturally raised.

    I've had American lamb, New Zealand lamb, grass-fed free range lamb, lamb in Egypt, and small-farm back-yard lamb in the Caribbean, and none of it was gamey.
