[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 7016, member: 25"] I have also hunted blue bulls down there and found them to be extremely spooky animals by nature. They see something and run over the freaking horizon. They have a reputation for being tough but any reasonable bullet will do the job, accuracy and shot placement are everything. Stout bullets would make sense, as would fast ones like the Hi-Energy or Heavy Magnum from Hornady if they shoot well. Your friend is in for a great time, they are unique and a very interesting animal to hunt. Their meat is considered a delicacy by many people. A good guide will get the shooter into a hundred yards or so if things work out, otherwise shots might get out to 300 or even much farther if you are up to it. I hunted with a muzzleloader and was forever wishing for a .300 Weatherby when the big suckers were posing out at 5-600 yards. Had a lot of them do that. Lots of bugs, we showered using dog flea shampoo every night to get rid of all the **** creepycrawlies. Really nice terrain, exept for the fact that every **** plant that grows is designed to stab, stick, impale, cut or poison you. Souvenirs of Texas fester out for several weeks after you get home...
