BUFFALO
TENNESSEE BUFFALO HUNT
This hunt takes place in the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains on over 1,100 acres of rugged terrain. This is not a small enclosure. These Buffalo were transplanted from an Indian reservation and you pay a minimum of
$1,650 to a maximum of $2,250. This is a great black powder or archery hunt.
Upon harvest the outfitter will transport your cape and horns to a taxidermist and the meat to a local butcher shop where it can be cut, wrapped and frozen for an additional cost. You could easily have 400-500 pounds of meat valued at $2.50 per pound. This goes a long way to paying for the hunt. The hunt is conducted by spot and stalk and includes three nights in a cedar, rustic lodge and includes three home cooked meals a day.
The owner is very personable and you will enjoy his hospitality.

Buffalo A Great Archery
You can hunt Buffalo with a bow, pistol, muzzleloader, or a rifle. These Buffalo are as free range as you'll find most any where! The best trophy bulls would be a 6 or 7 year old with bases measuring about 14 inches. What the outfitter has found out in the past is that the old 10 or 12 year old bulls have worn several inches off of the tips of their horn by either fighting or rolling in dust wallows. Clients in the past prefer the 6 or 7 year bulls with full horns to make a better mount. The hunts are fully guided as well as other activities such as prairie dog hunting to do if you fill early. This is a very high success hunt but if you do not score you can stay on for a added day rate if needed but is not likely you'll need more days!
Bill hunted with his bow and it was truly a hunt! best dates to hunt with
a bow is late Oct early Nov.
Quoted by Craig Boddington "The era of America's buffalo hunters was really just a moment in time. The serious and truly destructive market hunting for bison didn't really get going until the Civil War ended in 1865 and the transcontinental railroad was completed the following year. By the mid-1870's the great Kansas herds were finished and the buffalo runners turned south, quickly polishing the herd in Oklahoma and northern Texas. The last real season for the professional hunters was in Montana in the winter of '84-'85. Then the sad chapter was over, leaving only fast dwindling survivors here and there. In 1887 Theodore Roosevelt hunted long and hard before taking a wild bison in western South Dakota, and by his own judgment considered the species doomed.
Fortunately he was wrong. Last minute protection in what would become the Yellowstone National Park, plus Canadian survivors and captive herds, saved the bison. Today there are some 250,000 of these historic and distinctive (but not unique-don't forget the similar European bison.) North American animals. Today there are several good reasons to hunt a bison. The trophy, especially in winter cape, is spectacular. Even if it weren't, the bison is a classic and historic American game animal, embodying the legends of Roosevelt, Custer, Buffalo Bill Cody. Colonel Dodge, Bar Masterson, Billy Dixon, and so many more. And even if this weren't the case, no North American collection would be complete without a bison. So there are plenty of surplus bison to hunt today, and there are plenty of good reasons to hunt them. But the reality is that is extremely difficult to find a good bison hunt today. This is simply because, during the last hundred years, the bison has been fenced and farmed back into existence. You can shoot a great bison for your wall, but you can't hunt them like they did in the 19th Century.
There are a few free-rang bison hunts. So most of us who want a bison trophy, for any of those good reasons, embark on some sort of farm or ranch hunt, accepting that it's more of a collection, barely a pale shadow of the bison hunts of yesteryear." We believe we have found you a great hunt for the American Bison that is very much free range or at least low fenced!
