    Need Advice: CO High Fence Meat Hunt - Cow Elk vs Buffalo?

    I did. last year I went to Severson Outfitters in western CO (near Grand Junction). I accomplished my goal but can't recommend the outfitter. He didn't really listed to what I wanted and was not focused on delivering the experience I was after. He had personal plans during the time of my booked...

    TX Nilgai Meat Hunt - Thoughts?

    One of the outfitters that got back to me said August is a bad time to hunt Nilgai. The heat in South TX is punishing for sure but I can work around that (used to live there). But the main thing he said was that in August bull Nilgai hides aren’t black and don’t make desirable hides/mounts. I...

    TX Nilgai Meat Hunt - Thoughts?

    Grateful for everyone’s input. It sounds like most people are leaning towards a bull hunt. I am seriously considering going after 2 cows as it would likely provide more tender meat and more of it. I generally only make trophies of my archery kills and these would be rifle hunts. Leaning toward...

    Thanks guys, at these prices it is always helpful to hear good things about the outfitters and ranches. Anyone have any thoughts RE: bull vs cow taking into account cost/value/Yakut for meat and trophy?

    TX Nilgai Meat Hunt - Thoughts?

    I'm a CO bow + rifle hunter who unfortunately is in a meat crisis. I had some elk and bison from last fall that unfortunately was lost due to my in-laws unplugging my chest freezer. Devastating and not the respect I had planned to show those animals. Due to my work schedule I will only be able...

    Do you remember who you got it from. Here in Colorado I can’t find a full beef for less than $3k. I still plan on doing the bison hunt but this seems like a great way to get a lot of meat instead of Costco.

    Thanks for a great tannery suggestion. I plan on calling them. Their rates are excellent but I worry the savings will be totally offset by the shipping costs. A fresh/salted and defleshed bison hide is heavy!

    Need Advice: CO High Fence Meat Hunt - Cow Elk vs Buffalo?

    I’m grateful for everyone’s input. I will be planning for a bison bow hunt, primarily because I enjoy shooting my bow more than my rifle. I called a taxidermist in my area who said bison hides are generally in good condition until the temperatures warm and the animals start rubbing so a decent...

    Need Advice: CO High Fence Meat Hunt - Cow Elk vs Buffalo?

    I am also curious about that 11boo. I think part of why I am so conflicted is I really do value the hunting aspect of it and fully acknowledge that comes with a high risk of going home empty handed. I love the backcountry camping, glassing, hiking and packing out aspects of western hunts. I...

    Need Advice: CO High Fence Meat Hunt - Cow Elk vs Buffalo?

    Greetings everyone. I am new to the forum. I live in Denver and ate tag soup last elk season here in Colorado. I work in healthcare and had a lot less time in the woods than usual because of the high volumes from COVID (yay). As a result, I have a bad case of empty freezer syndrome. I'd like...
