Buffalo Hunting
So where is the best place for bison hunting? I am currently thinking about taking a trip up to Sunrise acres to hunt with Ted Nugent, on a wild boar hunt with Buffalo.

RE: Buffalo Hunting
Father just took one in Wyoming, free ranging & wild, etc....
Best place? guess it depends what you're looking for....
Custer County state park or whatever in SD has free ranging, though I think even though that's the case, they're pretty domestic....but they will qualify for the book, and you can simply buy a tag I believe.
So a huge ranch, even though fenced, may present more of a hunt.....and could probably go whenever and at a more fair price....
Sure you can figure it out with a tad of research

RE: Buffalo Hunting
I've seen a lot of guys hunt a ranch in SD. I think its called Hawes Ranch. They buffalo hunt like it was done in the 1800's. Horseback hunt and camp in tipi's and a dugout.
I just checked and Hawes is right. http://www.hawes.org/hunt/buffalo.htm
They are also offering russian boar and elk now. I've seen their hunts on TV. It's pretty awesome. I'd love to try it.

RE: Buffalo Hunting
Depends if you are talking about truly "hunting" wild bison, or whether you want to go shoot a fenced animal.
For wild ones, Alaska, Wyoming, Montana, and Utah have wild herds that can be hunted. I hunted them in Alaska and it is a tough hunt.
If you want to shoot one behind a fence, call a local bison rancher, buy one, unload it in a buddy's pasture and shoot it.
