What most people don't understand
 about this picture...

is that it took over 3 hours, twelve men, and a hell of a lot of horse tranquilizer to put that buffalo down.  We also had to cart a generator out into the field to power my electric hair trimmers.  Wahl, nothin' but the best will work on buffalo hair!  The tranqs kind of wore off a little sooner than we had calculated and things took a turn for the worse.  The buffalo stumbled to its feet and tried to charge me.  I guess it didn't enjoy waking up to a bearded man with a buzzing object in his hand carving into his rib-cage fur.  That stumbly bull ran right into and got himself all hung up in the electric fence.  You can still see the welt on his hindquarters!  At that point in time, we all shared a laugh, had a smoke, took this picture and went on our merry ways.
