I made it back from Montana heavy some Bison meat and some great memories. The place we hunted has over 50,000 acres (64 square miles) of land with free range wild Bison on it. We worked our way through some fog and found the animals we were after. I had a cow tag, so I picked out the biggest one I could find and let her have it. She went down quickly and the work began. Here are some pics.
The hunting area was free range and very large with wild animals on it. The owner aslo raised animals for slaughter in a seperate area of about 100ac and keep them like cattle. The rancher was donating some meat to the anti-wolf collition and asked if I could take a "meat" animal for him because he was impressed with the effiency of the bow kill. Hell yes I can!!
Here is a pic of the "meat pin" as he called it wich was about 100 acres.
Part of the heard he raises for slaughter not the wild herd you can hunt.
That will do it!!
It was a great trip. Those bison are fun to hunt and I am looking forward to doing it again. I got complete pass throughs on my shots. Thanks for the equipment advice.
