Are you looking for a free range hunt or a ranch hunt?

Free range if possible, but a ranch hunt is fine provided it is not a drive by shooting.

Randy Routier will be a good place to start.

He offers some good hunts.


Even the rocks don't last forever.

I have a friend who has Bison hunts on a 4000 acre ranch south of Billings Montana. I can send you his brochure if you pm your email to me.

Go to the Yukon on a winter hunt for Wood bison with Tim Mervyn's outfit or a winter bison hunt for plains bison in NE British Columbia with Sikanni River Outfitters.

Gorgeous country and real wild bison. A unique adventure and beats the hell out of a ranch hunt.

So, dogcat, what interesting old fashioned buffalo cartridge will you be using on your hunt?

Ive looked around for about a year , first while my Sharps was being made and now while I have had to redo this house after the flood, and I think both Randys hunt and this one both are good.

The Comstock Lodge in Nebraska gets good marks too dogcat. My wife liked the looks of it as it had some pheasant hunting opportunity and most of all its close to home for her too.

There is also some bison hunting in Alaska near Delta Junction too that doesn't require a draw permit that I recall.


Unfortunately I have not been to any of them yet.

South Dakota has a bison hunt in Custer State Park, not sure of the size or how fenced it is.

You have to draw and they are eligible for Boone and Crockett if that is a thing for you.

Doesn't take a lot of points to draw, because they are $6500 plus (I think).

The fee is $6,006, only successful applicants will be charged.

There you go.

Might take a couple years to get drawn. Not sure.

According to the odds page, 18 non-residents applied for 6 non-resident tags, as long as they had a couple points.

That's pretty fair odds.

Good luck with Rouiter I sent him 4 emails a couple years ago trying to set up a bison hunt and he replied to just 1, 3 months later.

This is Randy Routier doc and if I did not get back to you I either did not get your messages or they went to my junk folder and I did not see them. I apologize because this is what we do and I try my very best at communicating with potential clients. Yes we do Buffalo hunts on a large private low fence ranch in northwest South Dakota. We can only take so many Buffalo per year and these hunts have been booking off of the charts because they are not a small pen shoot and we actually go out and hunt. I would not call it free range but the Buffalo go where they want to when they want to but saying that they do not qualify for anything besides SCI.

Lamounts in New Mexico is as close to the real thing in Bison hunting..They even offer a horse back hunt, that's pretty neat. and they do a spot and stalk, or foot hunt...They have a web page Im pretty sure.
