Ive seen on here a few times about being able to harvest a buffalo for meat on his ranch. If possible any info would be great. I couldnt find the old posts on it. Thanks again

Looks like no cow/management bison this year. Of note, his herd has recently tested positive for brucellosis.

I called over there several months ago and the manager referred me to the New Mexico ranch. Too far for me

I don't think TT owns the Flying D. Try that one. My dad shot one there. It's just a meat shoot.

A few years ago he still owned the flying D

Crap, I threw away the phone number and the address to the place I went last year. If you search the threads, I know it was about this last year myself and Tmike went over and shot cow for meat. Let me see if I can find the number to the ranch manager...

Turner does own the Flying D... but they have cancelled their bison kill operation... soooo.....

There are others.... google it.

KNOPHISH · « **Reply #9 on:** November 09, 2010, 07:10:23 AM »

Well that's what I get for thinking, I stand corrected. I'd like to go shoot one sometime too.

There is a person that has buffalo hunts in the Cheney area. A Friend of mine shot a bull with his bow this fall. He thought it was a good experience. Said the cost reasonable. He brought a piece of tender loin which my wife grilled for us, very good.

I know some guys who have whacked some big pigs out there.

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #16 on:** November 14, 2010, 07:17:24 PM »

I guess Turner has a few ranches in MT. I just got 2 bufflao in yesterday from a couple guys. Maybe they are booked out.

I hunted near his property by Ennis last year. His property was loaded with whitetails. He has some nice property off the Madison river I saw some nice elk on it but it was spendy to hunt elk on.

In laws do a big reunion every 3 years on a ranch that border's Turner's ranch up the ruby river and there are hundred's of bison there. Last time I was there which was 1 1/2 yrs ago they had a book in each of there cabin's that had the pricing for taking a bison off his property. They have some agreement with him or something. Some beautiful country and animal's up there. From the lodge we've seen bighorn's, antelope, elk, and deer, and of course ted's bison, which they do get out frome time to time I hear.

Here's the link to the ranch that border's turner's property: www.ucomontana.com

As far as I know, the brucellosis confirmation has only affected the FlyingD ranch to the point of closing it down to harvest and I believe it's keeping any bison from leaving that ranch. The others now have to run blood tests on each animal before they are loaded onto trucks and leave the property. Not sure for how long.

Most of these larger ranches mainly have a commercial interest in bison. My understanding is that the prices for bison meat is higher than normal these days and the ranches are getting more $$ for the animals at market than selling them to us.

The Upper Canyon folks are great too. Good people. They have a sweet piece of real estate.

There is a guy in Waterville that I ran into 4-5 years ago that raises buffalo. I think he has meat hunts. Google it.

They are called Bison. You want Buffalo? - go to Africa.

I was going to say that but decided not too!

Don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to hunt animals that are sick.
