Post by: quadrafire on October 29, 2014, 07:12:03 PM: My wife says maybe next year. I showed her a link to BearPaw and she seemed kinda interested.
Tag for other ideas. I would do it strictly for the meat so a cow would be fine for me

Neither if we're talking about tanning the hide. That'd go in the taxi section :chuckle:

Man i am really confused now, it could also go in the "Out of state hunting" or Butchering..... :dunno:
Humm, live stock, good question, farm raised i guess, so if you go on a High fence elk hunt is that then livestock... :dunno:
Title: Bison Meat hunt.
Post by: bobcat on October 30, 2014, 03:53:36 PM: Yes, high fence elk usually are regulated by the department of agriculture in states that allow game farms, I believe. So they are considered to be livestock, just as bison are.

Post by: JBar on October 30, 2014, 03:56:44 PM: Isn't there a ranch in or around Bend, OR?
Title: Re: Bison Meat hunt.
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on October 30, 2014, 04:02:40 PM: I already know Dale does them.

So do many other places. I'm looking for other places to check out too.

Post by: WSU on October 30, 2014, 04:03:08 PM: I've offered it before, but I have a nice bull Hereford you could shoot. He's around 1,000 lbs. Better speak up quick though. He's got one barrel of grain left then he's history.

Post by: JODakota on October 30, 2014, 04:43:26 PM: Get on Google and type in bison meat hunts, there are literally tons of them.

Post by: Toptwo on October 30, 2014, 05:22:16 PM: Here you go, hunt right in Colville Washington. The wife and I went there this sept for her to get a Fallow deer. David Schuerman was a great guy, and we had a LOT of fun! At the time we were there he was charging $2200.00 for a Buffalo. You keep hide, head and ALL meat. Best deal I have EVER heard of as that equates to about $4.25 a pound for Buffalo since he says he gets about 500lbs off of one. This old online pamphlet shows a out of date price I think, but drop him a email or a call and check it out.

If you have any questions I might be able to answer PM me.

Post by: MtnMuley on October 30, 2014, 05:31:01 PM: Wow, I can remember friends going to Montana and shooting them for $1000 for a 2 year old. Been 10 years ago since the last guys I knew went. They kept everything as well. I guess like anything else, prices just keep going up.

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on October 30, 2014, 07:08:37 PM: Thank You Toptwo,

I didn't realize there were still game farms here in WA. That they had all be shut down.

True PolarBear, but they are up and running and are good people. Like I said, I was there with the wife hunting Fallow deer the first week of Sept :)

Post by: Boss .300 winmag on October 30, 2014, 08:09:25 PM: With the cost of buying feeders now and raising to weight this would actually be cheaper than raising your own beef if you don't have a hay operation. :twocents:

We may do this next year.

That's the gal I'm talking about over there. I guess she is as tough as any and does all the work post kill.

Post by: PA BEN on November 02, 2014, 06:41:42 AM: I few years ago a co-worked went to Canada for a meat hunt. It was something in the 600 to 800 range. The Bison was in a pen the rancher asked him if he wanted to shoot it from his tractor bucket so he felt like he was in a tree stand. :chuckle:

Post by: 334OKH on November 03, 2014, 11:30:53 AM: Try Clover Creek Ranch in Ashwood, Ore. Clark sold the place and I have heard some negative comments. I have shot several there while Clark had it.

Post by: caribou creek on November 03, 2014, 08:32:16 PM: My brother and a buddy just shot two 2 yr old cows on the Fort Peck Indian reservation out of Popular Mt.

I think it was 900.00 for the hunt , they were real happy with the whole experience, these Buffalo are out on the prairie, not in a small pasture.

The Ft Peck tribes has a good website with the hunting info
