All About the Hunt

Our hunts are a one-day bison hunt/harvest event. our hunters meet at the bunkhouse on the Ranch. After a quick hunt briefing, we will have the hunter check their rifle at our shooting range. Hunters should be able to consistently hit a 4-inch target at 100 yards. Once the hunter is confident that their rifle is sighted in, accurate, and they are able to hit the target representative of the aim point on a bison, the hunt will begin.

Our hunts are always 100% opportunity, and usually 100% success. Success depends upon the hunter's ability to shoot accurately. It is important that all hunters understand that compared to an elk or deer hunt, a guided bison hunt is more of a field harvest than what many would consider a true hunt. Bison are massive herd animals, that stand out easily in the native prairie grasses. Finding the bison herd by vehicle is comparatively easy, we will get the hunter within 75-150 yards. While finding the bison and getting imposition is relatively easy, the real challenge is on the hunter to make a precision one-shot kill without injuring any of the herd mates standing nearby. This is how bison hunting has always been and is no different from the challenge faced by the very first western buffalo hunters.

Buffalo are unpredictable and do sometimes charge humans and vehicles, so hunters need to stay in the vehicle for their own safety. When we are within range you will get out to shoot the animal. We urge all hunters to take a shot 2-3" behind the ear. This shot severs the spinal cord directly below the base of the skull and is the most humane shot. The shot will kill the bison instantly, prevent waste, and allow for a fast bleed.

Once the buffalo is down we move in with a bail bed truck or tractor to load the buffalo for field dressing. After the bison has been field dressed, we will load the carcass onto the hunters' truck, or we will deliver the carcass to the hunter's choice of taxidermist and processor in Great Falls, MT.
