NOTAGS Report post Posted April 10, 2017 Hey, anyone been up yet on the hunt? I cant imagine there hasnt been at least one buffalo killed by now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALYUAZ Report post Posted April 11, 2017 One buffalo cow taken in Saddle Mtn Wilderness was the only one taken on a spring hunt so far. Lots of snow on the plateau this winter perhaps explains why it's so slow. Just got a report of a herd moving closer to National Forest side and I am getting ready to head out soon.

wildwoody Report post Posted April 11, 2017 Ok, meet at the ranch managers office at 8am , short orientation, the 2 rangers and 3 hunters and 1 friend each get in a truck for the hunt. Drive about a mile, locate herd, one has GPS if needed. Drive up to herd (19 animals left), get 20yrds away lay out feed pellets . Drive out to 63 yards and wait until herd separates and then the manager puts up an awesome tripod and tells the hunters (in permit # order) which buffalo to shoot. 3 buffalo on ground, Call friends with flatbed trailer and to drive out to kill , take pics , gut, load and back to skinning shed by 9:15am, skin and quarter, load and on the road to Processor by 12:10pm. Well there you have it, not sugar coated and I don't no how to make it sound more interesting. Anyway needed my buffalo from az for my az big 10 , and for $350.00 for a 3 yr old cow , 4 bonus points , who cares if it's my once in a life time is done. Time to eat 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coueser4 Report post Posted April 11, 2017 Do they allow you to shoot your buffalo with a bow on the ranch? Or any rifle/muzzleloader restrictions? Just curious how they could make it a little tiny bit more interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOTAGS Report post Posted April 11, 2017 wildwoody congrats… the House Rock tag can take a lifetime plus to draw. I completed my AZ Big 10 last month with a lion,,, now I gotta get another "personal quest". I guess a big bull with my bow this year will have to do short term. I don't think the AZ Big 13 will ever happen, cause I don't believe I will ever draw a Rocky Tag. Enjoy the meat, buff is the bomb for dining! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

120carp Report post Posted June 6, 2017 This is my 2017 archery bison. The first archery bison of the year. I shot it at 25 yards on salt. The cow only went 20 yards after being heart shot with a 3 blade Wac'em. It was coming down to the end and I wasn't going to be picky. In 14 days of hunting this was the only bison I laid eyes on. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
