The expense of the wild herd hunting can get pricy as can the hunt you mentioned. I bowhunted a private herd in March on a 12,000 acre working cattle ranch-the Buffalo were in a 3000 acre section. It was fun & in no way a walk in the park-I was on a 4 day Archery only, either sex Bowhunt. I managed to take an est. 900# Cow the end of my 2nd day. I would love to do it again but at my age I found out this was very physically challenging. Crawling, running, sneaking & setting up ambushes nearly did me in. In fact, around noon the 2nd day I told the guide, If I don't get a crack at one b/4 the day is over I am taking AT LEAST half of tomorrow off to recoup. Then-late in the afternoon I got a 40 yard shot at this cow. The meat is delicious. My hunt was under $1000 total.
Anyone interested can private e-mail me for more details.
