Here's a Wensel Woodsman harvest Bison Kill...been eating on him for over 2 years.  He's fed over a hundred hunters in camps and and wild game dinners.  Estimated at over 2000 pounds by the processor. Hope to get another one next year for the freezer as well.


       
     

     

Is there anywhere other than Utah and Alaska that has truely free ranging/wild bison that are huntable?

British Columbia as well!

Arizona has a herd as well. Your chances of drawing those tags(Az.,Ut.,Ak.) are very low.  They also are pretty pricey for non res. hunters.
The Pink Mountain ranch/reservation has a free ranging herd, but that is an expensive hunt.

Best of luck on your upcoming hunt and I look forward to hearing about it upon your return. That would have to be my dream hunt....... yes     Craig

It looks as if Terry is showing reverence/respect to the animal in the first photo. Gotta love that with such a noble beast. Last photo of the animal on the pedestal, balancing act! That stand must be freaking heavy itself.  

You have to go to Pink Mountain in Northern BC, or Utah, or Arizona to hunt free range bison. I went to BC last year, it was extremely cold, -25 daytime. Had a blast but didn't harvest 1. They were as spooky as whitetail and were up in the mountains - go figure, they were plains bison!

Great looking Buffalo guy's Congrats to all

Free ranging herds also in Alberta, Yukon and Custer State Park South Dakota.

Well I leave tomorrow morning.  Hopefully I will have a story worth telling and some good pic's to post.  Thanks for the pic's and good luck wishes.

Good luck, they are fun to shoot!

Good Luck Jason!  I expect buffalo steaks at the CTAS shoot next summer.

good luck hunt safe.

Custer State Park is high fenced, though still very large.  Saw some huge bison bulls there one winter, plus lots of sheep, elk, deer, and coyotes.  A great place for viewing wildlife!  I really enjoyed the article in TBM about the guy who got one in the Henry's in Utah.  Don't hear much about hunting them in BC, anyone ever get one with a bow there?  

Elksong, good luck and be safe!  Sorry for hijacking your tread.  Let us know how it goes!

Just got in @ 4:00 a.m. tis morning. Hope to tell the story soon, for now I am BEAT!

 

Great looking buff. Let's hear the story when you get rested up.  

I really, really want to do that!

YeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaa!!!
