Bison - Muskox - Exotics

SOUTH DAKOTA BISON HUNTS ONLY $1800 TO $2500
This bison hunt now includes 2 nights lodging, meals and tax for 2 people, in case you want to bring a non-hunter.  They offer 3 types of hunts on their 62,000-acre ranch. The “meat hunt” for young bulls and cows include the hunter getting the complete animal for only $1,800.  Many hunters choose this hunt to fill the freezer.  They guide the hunter and transport the buffalo back to the ranch headquarters, where they skin and quarter the animal.  Actual butchering and freezing is an additional charge, comparable to other butcher shops.

They also offer a “trophy meat hunt” for a 3-year old bull suitable for mounting, yet the meat is still palatable.  You get the complete animal for $2,200 and are allowed to use archery gear, muzzleloaders or rifles for this hunt.

“Trophy bull” hunts are $2,500 and most bulls taken average 5 to 7 years old and 70% make the SCI record book.  Hunters get the head, hide and skull, no meat.  Meat can be purchased at the ranch.  Most hunts are taken from October to the end of December. There are about 3,500 head of bison on the ranch, with about 200 to 300 mature bulls.  Fly into Sioux Falls and rent a car to Pierre.  HCU now works with a local pheasant operation that can be combined easily with a bison hunt.  Hunt BI567.

ALBERTA WOLF HUNT 80% PLUS SUCCESS ONLY $3500
We have located a farmer that does a few winter wolf hunts on private land and over the past 7 years has run 80 to 85% success for only $3,500, with a second wolf for $1,750 and all the coyotes you get an opportunity at.  He shot 32 wolves himself over the course of 3 winters and then decided to take a few hunters every year.  He has 3 box blinds with propane heat on 3 different bait sights within 30 miles of his house.  Once wolves are coming into a bait he patterns them and then calls one of his hunters to take a flight and get up here ASAP.  All hunters are on an on-call basis and quite a few of them have scheduling conflicts so he then calls the next hunter on the list.  He prefers only one hunter at a time and on a 6-day hunt he averages seeing wolves two times.  Hunts can run from January to mid-April.  House accommodations, meals, guide service and airport pickup in Edmonton.  Hunt WF254.  Pictures from this Hunt.
