I do not have a financial interest in this. Doug is a friend of a friend and I harvested a heifer last winter. The process was fun and the meat was excellent.

Boy I wish I could afford it,bison is some good meat

Hey SkiBum... any snow in the Flathead yet?
Those are good prices. We sent a few folks up there last year, & they were happy. Also, if you need somewhere to stay in the metro Valier area ;-), the Stone Schoolhouse Inn is a good B & B.
The vast bulk of the bison blastings we book are here on the Flying D, though. The prices on cows & yearlings are a smidgen higher, but it's a lot handier trip for most folks. Valier is not really close to anywhere, you know....
One place the D has 'em beat in a big way is on the bulls. Mature bull harvests are going for $1500, while they last. Those are a harvest, not a hunt, but they're in about a 200 acre pasture so it's not like you're whacking them in a corral or something....
Besides, with the hunts you get to tour around the ranch, & have your choice of any buffalo on the place (still have a choice with the harvests, but more limited), but when you get down to the actual shooting there's little if any difference.

And on a distantly related note; my mother-in-law (who lives in Valier) just sent me a clipping from the Valierian. Somebody working on a road construction project hit a bull elk with their truck, apparently about four miles west of town. That's not exactly prime elk habitat, but.... The bull and truck survived, if both a bit worse for wear. There's a picture of the bull, with Lake Frances in the background. Looks to be a reasonable 5-point, probably a 3-year old.
All the farmers are going broke (I was one up there in a previous life), & it's turning into the Big Open ;-). She reported a black bear right outside town a while back.
Bison, bear, bulls, & Blackfeet. A volatile combination for sure....
