THE BUFFALO HUNTS:

This is not a "pen hunt." Our bison have free range over our very large ranch. We usually drive as close to the herd as the buffalo and the terrain will allow before "dismounting" for a shot. Depending on terrain and the situation, often we can do a "stalk and shoot" hunt, but not always. Bison are curious creatures. Normally, they hang around assessing us before deciding to move on. This is a hunt for experienced hunters ... buffalo are not easy to kill and require a practiced and accurate marksman.

FIREARMS:

We adhere to Wyoming Game and Fish Dept. big game minimums, which dictate: Legal firearms for big game must have a barrel bore diameter of at least .23 of an inch and be chambered to fire a center fire cartridge not less than two inches overall length including a soft or expanding-point bullet, or any other cartridge that has a barrel bore diameter of at least .35 of an inch and generally delivers at least 500 ft. lbs. of impact at 100 yards; or a muzzle-loading rifle which has a barrel bore diameter of at least .40 of an inch and a charge of at least 50 grains of black powder. Minimum bow draw weight is 40 lbs. BISON ARE TOUGH! Minimum calibers may work on a young heifer, but we recommend at least .30 caliber for other bison. Note: Remington Cor-Lokt bullets have not worked well on our bison.
