Well i am very excited to say i am going on my very forst and probably last bison hunt in my life. The hunt is taking place in southern Colorado on over 100,000 acres of unfenced property and BLM. the weapon of choice is my bow lol but if things get bad enough i will have my trusty ole 375 h&h mag.Has anyone else ever been on a bison hunt if so i would like to hear your stories to maybe get an idea whats instored for me
I wouldn't worry about using the bow. Any critter that big should be shot with a rifle LOL.

Seth,
I had a friend that recenlty went on a Bison hunt.He mentioned the Bisonwere very fast and spooked easily. You may have problems getting close enough to bow hunt. Them big bulls are much largerwhen close up. Depending on your hunt agreement there are specific Bison that can be shot. Each Bison had a color coded tag on there ear. Each color represents a particular cost$$. If this is your situation, then trying to locate a specific Bison can have it's challenges. Good Luck!! Keep us updated on your experience!!

This one was taken with a 60# Darton, 2216 Easton tipped with a 125gr. 3 Blade Rocky Mountain Ironhead at 41 yards-complete pass through. Meat is delicious-estimated 900# Cow. I got the shot at the end of the 2nd day of MANY unsuccessful stalks & ambushes on a 12,000 acre working cattle ranch in Texas. Story was in Spring Issue of NationalBowhunter Magazine. Good Luck. They are fast, unpredictable & be cautious-the adults fear nothing.

yeah thanks everyone. The sytsem is that they have a heard of about 1500 buffalp spread out over a little mor than 200,000 acres and the price is based on the sci score of the bull and this is not a canned hunt
Good luck they are some agressive animals when wounded!

That sounds awesome! If I ever went on a bison hunt I would definitely bring my bow too. That's all I ever use for anything that you can use it on. It's much more exciting to have to wait until they come within 20 yards rather than just sit back and shoot them from 250 yards. Bow>Rifle in my opinion.
Bison hunt!!!!
