I have a chance to go on a buffalo hunt in January.. Only 600.00 if you use a bow.. First off I don't like to hunt fenced animals and that's what this isBUT I'm guessing for what it is maybe it's the only way sinceBuffalo don't really roam free in large numbersanymore..
Has anyone ever hunted Buffalo with a bow and if so howwas it? I would never hunt deer or elk etc... etc.... fenced in but what are your feelings on something like a Buffalo?

I wonder if I can pet it before I shoot it.. LOL J/K

dude you are going to hell if you shoot a fenced in animal. teddy rosevelt wouldnt do it to the bear and neither should you

Oh shut up!

That sounds like an incredible opportunity. I think it would be awesome to take down such a huge animal with a bow.

I am totally against high fence hunting HOWEVER I'd make an exception if the animal no longer exists in the wild. I believe there are some small free roaming buffalo herds near Yellowstone but I don't think you can hunt them (I may be wrong). Anyway, enough about that.

As far as setup, I'd suggest at least a 70 pound bow with at least a 500 grain arrow. I'd use a 1" diameter cut on contact broadhead like a 2 blade magnus stinger to make sure you get good penetration. Good luck - post pictures.

i mean its ok to hunt them but not in a fenced in place all you have to do is go to wyoming and u will see thousands of elk and buffalo. i go there every year. and yea you can hunt them there

enjoy your hunt!--but i wouldn't try to pet one-fenced in or not

Not too thrilled about the fenced thing and if I don't do it that will be why, but it's one big arse fence and you'll never even know it.. Pretty much like a free roaming animal but I know it's still not.. All I keep thinking is 800lbs of meat and hunting a buffalo with a bow for 600.00, lol....

It was just an offer and I just wanted opinions on it, not sure yet.. I have some other really fun hunts coming up (although some with a rifle) but this was just a spur of the moment type thing.. You also get to shoot wild hogs.. Mabye not a good idea if ya have to questions the ethics of it..

I know, this is what I usually tell my customers when they tell me they are doing a fenced hunt.. Ahhh, good for you.. Do you get to pet it first.. lol

Go shoot a Chevy or a Ford or something sporting. A buffalo in a pen??? What int the hell are you thinking man. Why not go ask the nearest farmer if you can buy one of his cows for $500. You'll save $100 and get a bunch of lot better meat. If he agrees, just pull out your bow and shoot the dang thing. Makes a whole lot more sense to me, and like I say... much better steaks. Hunt a buffalo in a pen. I'd rather go hunting in Baltimore on a pay day night where the animals shoot back.

I'd go for the meat. I wouldn't call it 'hunting'. Call it interactive grocery shopping.

That's what I call it when I go down to TN and chase/get chased by hogs.

I have fun, usually get some meat, a bunch of exercise and it sure beats sitting on the couch.
