American Prairie Reserve - Making it easier to get a bison tag

[mtmiller]

It is what it is. You are shooting livestock. No need to overthink this.

If you are thinking “hunt” and these are the rules your and my definition of “hunt” are completely different.

Miller’s post +1

The way i understand their rules its not a specific animal. But instead an animal within a certain group. Must be under 2yrs of age and not have a certain color ear tag. Also private land only and lead free bullets.

+1...exactly what I was thinking MTMiller.

A friend once described his bison hunt on the Flying D Ranch as being just like "shooting a sofa".

 

[Poke 'Em]

Right now, yeah, it's a livestock shoot. But it's a step in the process toward turning them back into wildlife.

How is this really any different that the bison hunt Randy went on? Not like Bison are really a wiley elusive critter.

Not much different...Randy openly states that the bison aren't wary of human presence. From what I can tell is the APR is requiring the "hunter" to basically follow the printed FWP regs with the addition of requiring a lead-free bullet. The advantage with the APR hunt would be there should be less snow than around Yellowstone (though that could change quickly)

and less activists

no same amount of activist just a different kind but definitely nobody actively protesting/interfering while on the APR

You don't have to wait for them to cross a "line" on APR.

I don't care if you call them livestock or if they are reclassified as wildlife in nc Montana, I am guessing if you walk up and throw a rock at the critter, you will still get a shot with your rifle.

Haha. There's swingset buffalo too. mtmuley

So really it seems we have an issue with the Sporting-ness of the buffalo itself and not this hunt.
