Buffalo Hunting: Trophy Bison Hunt
[click photo to enlarge]
|
The
ranch is located in the panhandle of Nebraska just 45 minutes north
of Interstate 80 near Oshkosh, Nebraska. This ranch is home to
4000 bison roaming on 85,000 acres of rugged sandhills. We hunt
the prime 6-10 year old bulls with truly trophy heads.
Included
in the hunt is all the meat, head and hide. We will deliver the
animal to the processor in Grant, NE or we will offer a trade where
we will have a comparable animal already processed and ready to go.
The head will be caped and delivered to a taxidermist or prepared for
the hunter to take with them.
Two
nights lodging is included with the Trophy Bison Hunt and 3 nights
lodging with the Trophy Archery Hunt. These hunts include meals
and on ranch transportation. Additional guests are $75.00 per
day. Please note that processing will take 3 to 4 days
depending on when the animal is delivered to the processor. We
can arrange other hunting opportunities depending on the time of the
year. Another option is to stop and hunt on your way out west
and pick up your processed animal on your way home.
Management
Bison Hunt (To help keep cost in check, we can only hunt management
animals in combination with a trophy hunt or with more than one
management hunt at a time)
There
are a limited number of younger bulls that need to be harvested.
These are 3-4 year old bulls that were kept as breeding bulls but
didn’t make the cut and offer very good heads but not the size of
the trophy bulls. These bulls are very comparable to what some
ranches harvest as trophies. On this hunt we offer the head,
hide, and all the meat but it is up to the hunter to take care of the
processing. We can offer a facility to skin and quarter the
carcass or we can just load the animal in your vehicle to take with
you. When taking the carcass of even a management bull please
remember that there is a lot of meat. Carcasses can weigh from
600 lbs for a management bull up to 1000 lbs for a trophy. This
hunt does not include lodging or meals but can be added.
Our
season will generally run October 1 through the end of February.

Management Hunts)
Cull
cows are available for meat hunts and you get the head, hide, and all
the meat. These are mature cows with generally excellent hides
and very lean meat. We will load the harvested animal for you
and we can provide an area to skin and quarter it if desired.
If you need to have the animal processed we can put you in contact
with a local processor. Expect weights around 900 lbs. on the
hoof.
