Grand Canyon bison hunt
- Thread starter GUNDOGLOVER49
- Start date
I may be mistaken but I think it is either free or a small permit fee. Info is easy to find on line. I was never interested so I did not read entire article. I do know there are several rules they have for the hunt, such as you are responsible for the removal of animal, which could be an issue because of access.
I just read the article and I can't find anything about fee. there are requirements which have to be meant.
Hatch won't be able to enter drawing. they won't let him shoot from truck.
I wouldn’t apply. They take the carcass after you pack it out, and then they hand out the meat at the end of the 5 day hunt period. Arizona Game and Fish hands out what they choose to hand out. Who would want to pack out a bison and not be guaranteed to keep the whole thing if you would like to. It sounds like you’re not even guaranteed to get the meat from your bison, you might get meat from someone else’s gutshot bison. If they want to take carcasses in for research why don’t they let the hunters keep their bison and have the employees shoot a few bison for research instead of being a**holes.
Sounds like a great opportunity. I am going to read up on it tonight. If the dates are right, I am in!
No truck...no hunt.. no dice!! I'd pay top dollar to watch somebody break down a buffalo and haul out every ounce of meat..head and hide without a vehicle..of course I'd be in the truck sipping ice cold beverages laughing...I hate buffaloHatch won't be able to enter drawing. they won't let him shoot from truck.
No horns... no hunt for me. This is all about killin' for the man. I'll draw a bison tag someday and... hunt bison. Ed F

22-250 with nosler partitions will topple them out to 800 yards.

Just for shits and giggles. I entered 22-250 factory federal ammo with 60 gr Nosler partitions.
I’m not saying it wouldn’t kill a bison at 800 yards. But I am saying it’s not a good idea. That 138 ft lb of energy wouldn’t do much shock or damage on a bison.

138 ft lbs is plenty of knockdown power. I don’t know about you, but I sure wouldn’t like 138 lbs dropped on my toe at 1000 fps, and neither would bison!
