Bison Hunt

[Terry Green]

Best of luck to ya however you get to down one.  Some of the finest eating for sure.

Do those old bulls eat as good as my 2 yr old bull did? This one has definitely been some good grub...on the grill OR in the skillet!!! Dangit, now I'm hungry again...

Last night I caught an episode of Beretta Outdoors on cable.  They shot two young bulls with Sharps replica rifles.  The hunt took place on lands owned and managed by the Cheyenne River Lakota Tribe. I thought that the location would be a pretty cool place to hunt bison so I checked it out on the www this am.  Beleive it or not...the Lakota do not allow archery hunting!  This may be the irony to top all ironies.  Go figure.

The bow and arrow didn't work out to well for them (the Lakota).

Oh yeah, I am familar with that, I talked to some other indian tribes as well who didn't allow bow hunting for their buffalo, ironic, huh!

Custer State Park--those buffalo are also allowed to go into B&C as wild and free ranging--only allows rifles as well.

Fireman,

I haven't tasted your bull...but my 2000#er tastes great, The NY Strips were really tasy and tender, and the Filets you can cut with a spoon.

PM Doug Campbell here of TG. He caretakes a herd here in Montana. I took one there last year with my Sheepeater, and I got to tell you, Terry is right about grocery shopping in a hostile environment. It is really all fun and games until you draw blood, and it gets a bit exciting.

Montana has gone back and forth on issuing bison tags. At best, I would say it is very difficult to score one. Which leads me back to the "it aint really a hunt" buffalo hunt. A private ranch can give you a chance to test your equiptment and fill your freezer at the same time. Like A few guys here have said, I wouldn't go around bragging about hunting down and killing a bison under the circumstances, but Doug sure makes it a great time.
