Welcome love your avatar, where did you go for that bad boy?

Thanks! Took that bison back in 2014 in South Dakota. Definitely was a dream hunt for me!

Very good. I was just curious as I did a Bison hunt in southeastern Montana, '04 and '05 I believe, complete with a sharps rifle. I'm glad I went when I did, like anything/EVERYTHING else, it has gotten cost prohibited, and, Good eaten that Bison meat

You are definitely correct. The costs have risen dramatically since I went. That bison meat was excellent, I would absolutely love to do it again one day. That is awesome that you did your hunt with a Sharps rifle. I took mine with a lever action Marlin 444S.

Yes my sharps was chambered in the 40-65 WCF. I used a cast soft pint 350gr, Not original to sharps but the ballistic equivalent to the 40 caliber sharps cartridges. I will say in '05 I took anther, but like you a lever, Marlin, a original 1972 1st year production '1895 45/70, that to with cast bullets, 400gr LBT LFN.

Very nice! I do have a Marlin 1895MR which is chambered in .450 Marlin. Fantastic round. I took my bison with a 280gr bonded core soft point.

That's more than a hunt... that's a life experience with memories that never fade. Congratulations.

You got that right! In '05 I took my Dad , my Son who at the time was 9, and my best friend, on that bison hunt. Today My son will turn 30 in another month, My Dad is 87 and his health has taken a turn and my best Bud, He's been gone now going on 12 years, Yes, many times the hunt hinges on getting one, especially when were younger, as we mature it becomes a whole lot more.
