Bison Hunts
Sorry, but we're currently sold out of bison...
A neighbor has a handful of two and a half year olds available, 900-1000# on the hoof. This is strictly a meat thing, not a hunt. In fact he shoots them, keeping stress to a minimum, & then guts and loads them. We're just down the road, still offering a skin/quarter/cool/robe/skull service, in fact he's hauled them down here with his tractor before.
$1650, which is a bargain on bison these days!

Alas, the Flying D has cancelled their bison harvest operation.
Politics. Bah. Humbug!!
We're now offering a bison skin/quarter/cool service, plus
beetle
skull cleaning and robe tanning, doing business as Buffalo
Bill's
These hunts take place on the famous Flying D ranch. This
historic 113,500 acre ranch is one of the gems of Montana, if
not the world. It borders the Lee Metcalf Wilderness Area
in the Spanish Peaks, and runs north into the fertile
Gallatin Valley. East to west, it entirely spans the country
between the Gallatin and Madison rivers. It is simply one
of the most gorgeous settings imaginable. I've hiked and
hunted the adjacent public lands extensively, as well as the Flying
D itself during bison and elk hunts, and can personally attest
that it is a unique thrill to look out over such a vast
scope of country, see herds of bison, elk, and deer, and know
that not only is the view unchanged from hundreds of years ago,
but it is going to remain that way. The owner has placed
the property into a conservation easement that prohibits future
development, and it takes no imagination at all to transport yourself
back a couple of hundred years. What activity could possibly
mesh better with that scenario than a bison hunt!?
The Flying D has offered trophy bison hunts for some time now
(see the subsequent list for details), but in 2001 they decided
to add cow and yearling
These bison hunts are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. We're getting a high percentage of repeat and referral bookings, so I recommend you book early. A very modest deposit of only $250.00 (non-refundable) will reserve your hunt. Don't pass up this opportunity to hunt bison, in a stunning setting, at an unbelievably reasonable price! Call 1-877-613-0404 toll-free, or e-mail us for info or to reserve your hunt.

hunts and harvests. These have turned out to be enormously
popular. We're approaching 3000 participants, and customer
satisfaction surveys indicate they were overwhelmingly pleased
with the experience. The meat is superb, the robes and
skulls provide lasting memories, the setting is scenic, and
the professionalism and friendliness of the guides impressed
everyone who participated. Needless to say, we're thrilled
to be one of the few agents selected to offer these hunts, and
expect them to be continue to be very popular.

Realistically,
I will not call this a hunt, it is a harvest. It's
not like you're shooting them in a corral or something,
though, the harvest pasture is about 160 acres. It's a good
setting, in the bluffs along the Madison River, and truth
be known, while they're nothing if not unpredictable, generally
speaking buffalo are not as cagy as, say, a trophy whitetail.
They're the big meal deal of the plains, and that's how
God meant it to be! In spite of what some would like
to think, meat doesn't just magically appear on the grocery
store shelf, and this offers you the opportunity to go harvest
your own meat, right in the same country where they were
born and lived. Besides, this meat is as pure as it
gets, a far cry from the genetically engineered, hormone
and steroid laden product served up by the giant agribusiness
corporations that dominate the food industry today.
October, November, December, and January for 1½ year old animals.
These are the best "meat" bison available, and you
can literally cut the steaks with a (plastic) spoon.
Their robes are prime, and you'll have your choice of several
animals. Most will weigh 700-800#, with a few in the
other size ranges. Furnished is guide, in-field processing,
and loading into your truck.
