Western Experience Bison Hunting Ranch

This is a true western ranch hunt experience, and a wonderful off-season chance to fill your freezer with some of the healthiest meat available.

Hunt the same plains country where “Dances With Wolves” was filmed. You will spend two nights on the ranch while guided to your bison on over 7,000 acres of a 4th generation working cattle ranch. You can hunt your buffalo with a bow, black powder rifle or large caliber rifle.

You can hunt the animal of your choice ranging from a trophy bull, younger bull, meat cow or even a yearling calf. Don’t underestimate the size and looks of a cow as they too produce large amounts of meat, a beautiful hide and a nice skull for mounting. After you have shot your bison, they will transport your animal to a processing facility nearby that specializes in bison. You keep all your buffalo meat!

  • Fully guided South Dakota bison hunt on “7,000-plus acres – 3 1/2 square miles of untamed plains” of the ranch where the buffalo roam free. This DOES NOT feel like a fenced hunt!
  • Trophy bulls are available. The largest bull that has been taken at the ranch weighed over 2,100 lbs.
  • Younger trophy bulls weigh 1,200 to 1,500 lbs.
  • Cows 2 to 4 yrs of age weigh 900 to 1,100 lbs.
  • Ranch house accommodations and home cooked meals.
  • All inclusive includes two nights and morning and evening meals, guided trophy bison hunt, transportation of your bison to a nearby slaughter facility.
  • You keep hide, skull and all the meat, world class taxidermy can be arranged for hide and skull (not included).
  • Hunting is spot-and-stalk but can upgrade to a true western horseback hunt experience for an additional fee.
  • Now offering a special upgrade: Hunt on horseback for the ultimate western experience.
