RE: buffalo or bow
 

I'd take a free ranging North American Buffalo hunt if it were not guided. I believe there are only 3 or 4 free ranging herds left that can be hunted and as can be expected the tag is nearly impossible to obtain. But if this were the case I'd be game. I have not much need for a new bow as I got one this spring and bought the one I wanted.

The buffalo you are going to be killing are behind a fence. Do yourself a favor buy a new bow. I am sure the rancher will drive you out to the buffalo & tell you to shoot a certain one. Two friends of mine went to a ranch east of Missoula, Montana. They told me it was like shooting fish in a barrel. They said they wanted the meat & the "hunt" was only a few hundred bucks so thats what they did. They told me next time they want buffalo meat? They will call the rancher & have him deliver the buffalo to the packing plant. 11,000-acres or 1-acre? Does it really matter how big the ranch is if the animals you are shooting are not scared of you???
You could take your old bow with you & kill it with your bow? Thats how my friends killed theres. They said there "hunt" only took them a total of two hours. Two hours for two animals is pretty quick with two bows don't you think? The two hour "hunt" also included there drive time.

I took a buffalo last March on a working cattle ranch in Texas & it was quite an experience. Not a walk in the park for sure. I took mine the end of my 2nd day on a 4 day bowhunt. I have heard of many who say you just go out & take your pick-not the case where we hunted.
I took a est. 900# cow & the meat is delicious. My hunt cost $800 & the buthchering was $185 & I got a little over 300#s cut & wrapped.
The story was in spring Issue of National Bowhunter magazine. Oh, I took it with my new bow I purchased for last falls hunting.
