Hogs and Exotics Gun or bow, you can stretch your season and fill the freezer with wild hogs and an assortment of exotics.

Which would you choose? and why

Ive got all the hog hunting I would ever want. My land is eat up with them. Id go for the buffalo, simply for the meat. I love buffalo meat.

Ive only shot Audads, as far as sheep go, and the meat was no good. If all Rams taste like the Audadas we have here in Texas, you can keep them all.

I've been fortunate to have Bowhunted lots of Biggame & all that was mentioned. Exotics, Rams, Buffalo & hogs.
I make a couple (or more) off season hunts to Texas or Oklahoma for the hogs as we do not have them in the midwest.
I Bowhunt them over feeders mostly with a hound hunt every now & then. I "MUST SAY" the hound Bowhunt is always exciting & WILD. The hog is Pis-ed & the hounds just make him want to rip everyone & thing in sight apart.
You sometimes find out how fast YOU can go up a tree.
I will be hunting them in Oklahoma in June over feeders & hoping to set up a hound/hog Bowhunt for my son & one Daughter this coming March.

Bison, not much of a decision IMO.

boars vs. bison? bison.

exotic rams vs. bison? bison. less you're hunting exotics in their home habitat......I have little interest in an aoudad/ mouflon etc......plus they're pretty ugly.

so really I only think 1 of the 4 has any interest. But as was stated earlier, I don't really want to do a ranch hunt....it would be fun to take a buffalo regardless, but I'd like to take one naturally, there are some places you can hunt free ranging, for a decent price, but ya most are ranches....

Is there any wild american buffalo? Ive never seen any except on a reserve or a ranch? Free range ranch, but still a 10s of thousands of achers, fenced ranch.

burn yes they are still free ranging buffalo in Utah and I believe parts of Canada - getting one of those tags for Utah is like winning the lottery though

My choice would be buffalo with a Bow - will do it soon in the next few years - I have taken my share of pigs and rams do not interest me too much

I would love to put my two dogs on a hog if at all possible, and end the hunt with a knife. Ending a huntwith your hands has to be the most unreal experienceI could imagine. Sitting back and killing from a distance is one thing, but walking up and warming theknife with the inside ofa hog seems like it would be a whole new game. One of these days.....

Besides the herds in Utah, Montana and Wyoming both have hunts for the bison that wander off Yellowstone. No fences whatsoever.
