Indiana Buffalo/Bison hunting

[cedartop]

Has anybody done any guided Buffalo hunts in Indiana, such as but not limited to the following. Guided hunts for whitetail deer, wild turkey, buffalo, bison in Northern Indiana

Sorry to get off topic, but with 83 acres, not much "guiding" should be required.

There are more than a few "ranches" around where one could walk out into the feedlot and pop one if that's what one was inclined to do.

The Dakotas aren't that far of a drive.

Will let you shoot one of my bulls or cow in the pasture for a price.

Haha, I didn't see that. Sorta funny.

Make sure you let us all know when the BBQ is. :-)

I tried once but my "guide" wasn't worth anything. Should have seen the people run when I pulled out my .357. Never allowed in the Potawatomi Zoo again. I did get a few shots at prairie dogs @ about 3 yards with my .22 though.

Buffalo in Indiana? What?

We went to a hunting preserve in tennessee last September that has buffalo. Doesn't seem like much of a hunt. Definitely magnificent animals and got to see two but heads at about 50 yards. When the two collided it shook the ground. Awesome experience!

Any hunt you do in Indiana is going to be on a farm. If you headed west to Kansas, Nebraska, S. Dakota, N. Dakota it would be more of a fair chase. I have read about ranches out there that are 50,000+ acres. Otherwise you need to head to places like Yellowstone and the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Twenty years ago there was a huntable free-roaming heard of bison in an off-shoot of the Grand Canyon. The issue was getting it out after the hunt. Since it was designated wilderness no motorized vehicles are allowed. Horse/mules are the only way to back out a 1500 pound animal there. I think Custer State Park in South Dakota has penned hunts to thin the wild herd. Yellowstone has occasional hunts when they wander out of the park.

You can hunt free range bison in Wyoming, but you have to get on the Wild Bison Hunt priority waiting list and be willing to pony up +/-$1600 for the tag. They call you when your name comes to the top of the list once the bison wander out of Grand Teton park. You have basically 24 hours to return the call and then have to get yourself out to Wyoming ASAP. If you don't get the call made in time, they cross your name off and go to the next group of names on the list.

There are many ranch hunt opportunities in Wyoming, Colorado, North/South Dakota on large ranches. That is on my list of "to do" hunts. You can make it as difficult or as easy as you are willing to pay for and hunt as big or as small a bison as you are willing to pay for.

There are some buffalos and longhorns at the Morgan farm just outside of Austin! Nice to look at but don't think I want to go to jail! They also got a hughe all jet black colored one. I'm not sure if it is a cross breed but it is HUGE!

Oout west it would be a fun hunt I would like to do. Either long range with a big bore rifle (preferably black powder) or up close with a bow

 

[trapperDave]

the word HUNT should not be used to describe shooting penned animals.

 

[singlestacksig]

is it legal? i thought canned hunts were outlawed about 4 years ago..
