Wyoming cow bison

[[email protected]]

Just returned from my bison hunt in Wyoming. I took a rifle after reading how hard it was to take a cow. All the animals were in the archery/shotgun zone. I ended up borrowing a friends crossbow. I got lucky with a forty yard shot then the work began!

Cool and congrats. I'm pretty sure I applying for a cow bison tag in Wyoming this year. What's the detail on the "archery/shotgun" zone?

That's should be some fine eating there! Congrats!

Congrats, looks like you saw a bunch of critters and shot a good one!

The archery/ shotgun zones are the areas closer to town, access roads. The rifle is the majority of the refuge.

Nice! Hope you could drive to it. I was just over there a couple weekends ago. Lotta elk down there this year, first time I have seen so many big bulls right by the fence/hwy.

Way cool and well done! I'm guessing you won't be going hungry this year...

That is even better being able to kill her with a crossbow. Great freezer filler!

Way to go! They have been hanging near the highway and town a lot this winter. I'd encourage anyone coming from afar to to bring a both a bow and rifle.

bdjmtn, nice post. Looks like fun. Crossbows can save the day in WY sometimes.

Are there retrieval services available if you need help?

 

[mr_steve]

How hard is it to find them on public land? I have read about other hunts on a refuge where it was difficult to find a cow and requires horses to get through snow. Your hunt looks different though.

Congratulations! Are you going to mount the head? How about the rest of the hide, tanned ? Hair on or off? I ask because I don't remember reading what others on here have done with theirs.

Someday I hope I draw so I can have this. Probably the only animal I have such desire to make my own bone-in ribeye.
