--- Quote from: jackelope on January 24, 2026, 12:54:48 PM ---The only reason I can see crap talking about these buffalo shoots or any buffalo shoots is if the shooter is gloating about some majestic achievement. This seems like a good way to get a couple freezers full of really fantastic and healthy meat along with a cool mount. Maybe some sort of buffalo skin blanket or perhaps a jacket. Don't tell your friends on hunt-wa that you killed it with a stick and string at full gallop and you're good with me. Mmmm mmmm mmm a bison brisket on the GMG...bring it on. --- End quote --- :chuckle: I love Bison meat and a mature bull can yield up to 550 lbs boneless meat. Just over $9/lb isn't too bad. But, from the description it sounds like processing and packaging is extra. May be pretty pricey for such a bulk buy of an older animal. And $5K is the minimum bid. Could be more. |

My guess is that you will accompanied by a member of the tribe to make sure they are the correct target. There will also be a backup gun to make sure that if you don't put the animal down. "They" will. --- End quote --- So what? This isn't a hunt. It's a shoot. Whether the tag holder finishes the animal or not, I doubt he'll get much satisfaction from the experience. At a minimum of $5K, you know it's not for the meat. Even if i had that kind of money to throw around (which I don't), this wouldn't interest me in the least. A guided, fair chase elk hunt? Absolutely. --- End quote --- To each their own. Lotta meat for something near market price albeit a 6+ year old bull ain't gonna be the greatest steaks. A tule elk hunt at Grizzly Island is effectively a cull hunt (mature bulls), but 1000's of people put in for the drawing. |

Who's to say one couldn't choose to hunt this bison with stick and string? Not for me personally, I won't even pay for a rayonier or weyerhauser permit. But who cares? Lots of raffles and paid hunts of all types out there, to each their own a long as it doesn't take opportunity from me. |

No ones saying you can't sling a arrow at them. Just says to make sure you are proficient with your choice,Weapons & Shot Opportunity Hunters may use any weapon they are proficient with that's large enough to bring down a bison, this includes rifles, bows, pistols, and black powder. Shot opportunity has been 100%. We can usually get within 30 to 100 yards or less, so practice at those distances. Hunting Area |

I did it for the meat only, didn’t take the skull or hide because I didn’t want them. $2k for the “hunt” $500 for the butcher for 400 lbs. of excellent meat. Will I do it again? No, it was nothing more than slaughtering an animal from 30 feet away, I never even left the ATV. Was it worth it? Hell yes, that was a lot of excellent meat. |
