"Buffalo Hunt" (2011)

"Buffalo Hunt" is a short companion film to the feature documentary, "Facing the Storm: Story of the American Bison.""Buffalo Hunt" observes the field harvesting of a bison on the Crazy Woman Bison Ranch in the Chalk Buttes of southeastern Montana. Due to the fact that very few wild bison herds in North America that are allowed to be hunted, some people who desire their own bison meat choose this type of experience over purchasing ranched bison meat that may have been trucked to a slaughterhouse, or might have been fed on something other than grass, such as grain. Some, like the Crazy Woman Ranch, offer this service on several thousands of acres of private ranch land, where the animals have been raised on the land their whole lives. Others are more restrictive, and may involve bison that were raised in corrals and fed a diet of grain for much of their adult lives. In a primarily observational style, BUFFALO HUNT documents the experience of two hunters from Idaho, and their enjoyment and emotional challenges associated with procuring their own food.

Great video... Definitely shows the harsh reality of harvesting one's own food. I once shot a buck mule deer, through the lungs, and he still rans 600 yards before toppling over dead... Well placed shots don't guarantee a "quick" kill... Cutting an animals throat is a whole other experience itself... We are predators, they are prey... that is a fact of life.

when hunting buffalo if you ever want a one shot kill use a big round not some 30-06 also i like to carry a 22 pistol just in case i come up on an animal thats still alive so i dont have to shoot it with a rifle round and damage the meat. thats just what i would do

I AM SO JEALOUS! I would LOVE to live out there in the high plains and hunt buffalo with you guys.I wish I grew up on a ranch like that. I HAVE RESPECT FOR NATURE. It must have been tough living on the high plains 150 years ago.But thank G-D for high powered rifles. That bison hide will make a real nice rug. I would take that head to a taxidermist , pronto! Thank you for the thrill of the video. Too bad the bull needed 4 shots to quasi- humanely die. but we all live and learn. G-d Bless!
