If your not in it for the "hunt" it might be cheaper and easier to just buy some buffalo meat. If you wanted an entire buffalo and all of the meat that comes with it (better have a BIG freezer) then it would be cheaper to go out and kill your own. But if your wanting 50% or less of the buffalo then it might be cheaper just to buy the meat from a buffalo farm. Most places that offer buffalo hunts will also have meat to sell, most of which comes from buffalos that people paid to kill and ended up not wanting/needing all the meat.
