Bison:
We are currently booking our fall 2010 trophy bison hunts.  This year we will have nine trophy bulls between six and ten years of age.  These magnificent animals are in their prime and weigh in between 1,800 and 2,200 pounds.  Once dressed out these bulls will yield 1,100 - 1,400 pounds of very lean, healthy meat. Our bison hunts are conducted between November 1 and February 1 while the animal's coats are in their best condition.   

Prices:
Trophy bison hunt packages are $5,000 and are all inclusive.  This price includes lodging, meals, transportation if needed, full-time guide and anything else you might need for the duration of your time here. We will also transport your animal to the processor and can arrange for taxidermy services if you should require them. 

Mode of Operation:
One of our primary requirements for you as a prospective bison hunter is that you be proficient with your weapon and be able to make a clean kill with the first shot.  You will need at least a .30 caliber rifle using 180 grain bullets or larger.  Rifle calibers that will work fine would be 30-06, .338, 300 Win Mag, 45-70, etc.  Experienced bow hunters are also welcome.  The schedule is up to you while you’re here and we will conduct the hunt in any reasonable manner you wish.  After the shot we will help you get set up for plenty of pictures that you can take with you on a CD. 

    
TASTE:
People are rapidly discovering the deliciously healthy taste of bison / buffalo. Buffalo meat tastes similar to fine beef, with just a slightly sweeter and richer flavor. Bison is naturally flavorful and tender and can be prepared much the same as beef. Publications ranging from Bon Apetit to Sunset magazines are heralding bison as the meat of the future.

VALUE:
Bison falls into the gourmet or specialty meat category at your supermarket or meat market. The value of buffalo is not what you pay, but what you get in return. Nutritionally you are getting more protein and nutrients with fewer calories and less fat. Buffalo is a dense meat that tends to satisfy you more while eating less.

HEALTH:
Bison are handled as little as possible. They spend their lives on grass, much as they always have, with very little time in the feedlot. They are not subjected to questionable drugs, chemicals or hormones. The members of the NBA feel so strongly about this that they have a resolution opposing the use of these substances in the production of Bison for meat.

NUTRITION:
Research by Dr. M. Marchello at North Dakota State University has shown that the meat from Bison is a highly nutrient dense food because of the proportion of protein, fat, mineral, and fatty acids to its caloric value. Comparisons to other meat sources have also shown that Bison has a greater concentration of iron as well as some of the essential fatty acids necessary for human well being. Readers' Digest magazine has even listed bison as one of the five foods women should eat because of the high iron content.
