Bison
Hunt BI567
SOUTH DAKOTA
BISON HUNTS ONLY $2750
This 62,000-acre South Dakota
ranch became Hollywood famous when the movie “Dances with Wolves”
starring Kevin Costner was filmed here. The ranch has been owned
and run by the same family for generations and they were also
instrumental in preventing the buffalo population from extinction.
They 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 $2,750 and are allowed to use archery gear,
muzzleloaders or rifles for this hunt.
“Trophy bull” hunts are available and these old bulls
average 5 to 7 years in age and 70% make the SCI record book, but are
poor table fare. Hunters get the head, hide and skull, no meat.
Meat can be purchased at the ranch.
They guide the hunter and transport the buffalo back to the ranch
headquarters, where they skin and quarter the animal. Actual butchering
and freezing can be done at local butcher shops for an additional
charge. 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.
