Montana bison

[Invisiblecreek]

Anyone ever done it? I have been intrigued by bison since hearing about the Wild West in school, I am jumping in the draw this year for the first time and plan on committing until I draw or donate all my money to Mfg….. nevertheless would love to see some pics and hear some stories of people who have drawn and have hunted either successful or not…. Thanks in advance and good luck this year everyone!

Would love to do it too. That would be a real sense of connecting with the early pioneers.

I know the Blackfeet res raffles off a few hunts each year. I think they have 3 different drawings starting sometime around year end. Something like $10 or $20 per ticket.

Not Montana, but we've taken 3 cow bison in Wyoming. The meat is awesome and the animals are impressive.
Our hunts were no gimmies by any means and quartering was interesting to say the least.

Good luck and go for it I say.

Is the Wyoming hunt a draw or point system? I would be interested in wyo as well since I’m already deep in the points game for elk

Odds are slim to none of ever drawing. Many options on private land for "ranch" bison- A lot of Indian Reservations sell hunts for various affordable prices depending on trophy vs meat. Pretty much from Mexico to Canada there are many options in the $3-10k range.

SCI/GSCO will take any bison not in a high fence so a ton of options there. For Fair Chase Boone and Crocket the list is smaller- impossible Draw or Buy a fair chase hunt in Canada- $15-20K range. Pope and Young are even more restrictive so very few options for that.

I drew a Rez tag a couple years ago. More of a harvest than a hunt but it was fun.

free range: come to the yukon and you have the choice of one outfitter but our bisons are wild and free.

@mtwarden has I believe.

Really tough to draw in MT. Also, It seems hit or miss whether you will have an opportunity when/if you do draw. Weather and migration can make the hunt amazing, or desolate.
