Tom;

I don't know of any. Even if there are, they aren't "wild" in the sense that no matter what the marketing material says, they are barnyard cattle-like whether in corrals or open.

This is how it's put to me by friends and acqaintances who have hunted them {shot them} under a variety of conditions.

I wanted an open range-type hunt for years but finally resigned myself to the fact that the kill will probably be no different than that which occurs in the common 100-500 acre paddock. I would go for such a hunt for the HUNT; camping, scenery, country, etc. but frankly would not be too interested in paying a premium for the animal under those conditions.

If you really want a wild experience, I think there is some northern Canada opportunity that looks very interesting. Not sure the details but somebody posted here once and it looked really neat.

BTW; I know quite a number of folks around here that shoot bison every year or every other year for their meat supply. Cost used to be very reasonable; $700 as of 2 years ago. Pretty cheap meat for a 800-1200 lb animal. Now the prices have jumped and when I called last {3 or so months ago} the feedlot hunts were running $1200-$1400.

I'll just keep feeding our steer...
