I have 10 yearlings and 1 - 2 1/2 year old. Five hunts are for sale for $750 each to Levergunners. Any day in April 2008 (Hunt includes 2 1/2 days lodging and everything but food and $45 license). Hunting is done spot and stalk. These hunts are specifically for members of this forum and with traditional style rifle of your preference. You keep the whole entire animal. Processing/taxidermy available locally.
Location: Hondo, TX First come first served if you can make it.

ONE LEFT DUE TO CANCELLATION

Thats a good price to be sure. I would be interested, except I'd have to ignore the 3 local bison ranchers that are going to be practically giving away hunts this spring due to the bad winter.

Does that price include the animal?

86er · Post by **86er** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 4:32 pm

YES, I put in the post that you keep the whole entire animal.

What do you think is a rough estimate on meat processing on one of them animals?

Wow , nice deal. Wish I could make it in April.

Want to do this. PM sent.

That is a great opportunity for those able to attend. I wish I had the extra money and the time off. I figured that it would be a 4200 mile round trip from my place.

Just curious. Would you let someone use a TC Contender handgun in 45-70? Although I post on a site dedicated to the lever action rifle, I do not own any.

I would be all over it if I wasn't in the sandbox. Thats a really good price

If you can give about a year advance notice for a hunt like that I'd sure like to hunt with one of my children. How would you price 2 hunters, one animal?

Anyway, I imagine there's lots of locals who can use the meat, it's the best.

What does a yearling weigh in at?

Joe,

I would go in a second if I had the time. Wish you were closer to drive there in a weekend. I don't have any vacation until September. Next winter if the opportunity is there you could see my smiling face! Would love to Meet, and Hunt with some of you!

86er · Post by **86er** » Sat Mar 29, 2008 7:31 pm

The meat processing is about $250 straight cut. Add sausage, jerky, other special stuff and it can run $375.

I would let you shoot a 45-70 contender without hesitation.

If you want to bring 2 hunter for one animal a child or spouse is free. Otherwise, the second person can pay for lodging at $99 for the 2 1/2 days.

A yearling will weigh between 900 and 1100 pounds on the hoof.

I have two probables. 3 more at this price if you can make it soon.

Thanks

Joe, I'd love to take you up and may sometime in the future if it becomes available. But, like Grizz, I need a little heads up. Sure are hitting the dream button kind of hard aren't ya?

Boomer45 · Post by **Boomer45** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 1:13 pm

This is a hunt I would definitly like to do, just too short of notice for me. If you have one coming up at a later date I would be interested. Maybe one of the other guys from this area would like to go also. We could team up and share travel expenses.

There is one left for April.

If anyone is interested in a Bison hunt at this price, there should be a few remaining that will be ready to eat in August. The Leverguns Summer Safari is a great opportunity to kill a Bison and share the experience with your forum friends. If anyone is interested and can commit I will hold some for the Summer Safari.

Thank you to everyone that called, e-mailed and booked the hunts.

Sounds like a great opportunity. How much does a 900 lbs buffalo dress out?

86er · Post by **86er** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 9:52 am

There's still one available since one person had to cancel. Anytime April or May.

Joe:
Is there still one left? If so, my 18 year old daughter wants to try for it. Would that be something we could do? She would use my Puma.
