K&K Germany and Mistral in Austria are advertising Wisent in Poland for 2019. Tags are limited but available. Looks to be around Eur 6.000 - 7.500 for 3-5 days.

Cheers

Worth checking out http://www.huntinginaustria.com/ as a friend went with them a few years ago to hunt one

I have done it with some clients over the years, but none where from the US. Limits are very limited everywhere.

I looked at a similar hunt years ago. I never followed it through due to the fact that these remaining creatures are mostly considered tame.. There is no challenge in hunting that.
The hunt i looked into was in the national park that goes both in Poland and Belarus. The herd that is still around there are very customed to people driving around in the national park.

Just FYI.

less expensive to hunt a wild one here ...

Poland recently banned foreign hubters from hunting Visent there , so that is out now. Only gamewardens ,state hunters xan hunt them there now in the Bialowitza foreest. That shares its limit with the Belorus , russia side. Sweden has visent also,but not free range .

Is K&K the outfit one would choose to hunt capercaillie and black grouse in Sweden?

I shot my wild bison .... a trip to Costco for another freezer.

That is how my wild bison hunt ended too .

That Hunt is cancelled now, if I recall, unless you're one of the Canadian aristocracy.

Yes the season has been cancelled, with good reason. The population trends were going the wrong way. I suspect the hunt will be back when the population increases again. Hunting free range wild bison in the 21st century was amazing though.

It was almost impossible to predict the harvest and manage the population. Huge numbers of tags were given relative to the size of the bison population. It was such a hard hunt logistically for most people that many never even bought their tags when they beat the odds and were drawn. Without snow machines, hunters had almost no chance of even seeing a bison. My bison was shot 17 km from the trucks, in the reed beds in the middle of a large, shallow lake. Distance from where people live and weather were a real factor. The local band was also given a large number of tags. They have no bison hunting tradition and apparently rarely used their tags. Maybe that changed.

There is a another wild herd to the south of there that can be hunted without license IIRC. Same sort of deal as hunting the edges of WB NP, but without having to worry about the park boundary. Never heard of anyone doing it though. Getting into that area in the winter and then out with a bison would be an adventure. Maybe not physically possible until freeze up. Actually, it is the sort of thing where even well equipped, experienced people can get into real trouble.

I’d say, them damn scientists spend too much time worrying about some Global Warming Bullshit instead of trying to figure out how to recreate prehistoric animals like Auroch, mammoth, wooly rhino, saber tooth tiger and ...
