trophy Bison hunt
DanaM:
Read Howard Hills account of his experience hunting buffalo from horseback in his book Hunting The Hard Way.
Sidewinder:
I will first chance I get Dana, Thanks I'll bet it is very interesting. I haven't gotten any of Howards books as I have been reading more on bow building etc... I guess I will have to put that on the wish list for things to get. Danny
DanaM:
Its a must read Danny

--- Quote from: Little John on February 11, 2008, 02:45:25 am ---Hunting from horseback would be the ultimate, but complicates everything. I am deeply into horsesand have shot targets from my running horse. but buffaloe are very fast and younneed a very fast horse that is trained to follow the beast with out fear and with stamina for the long run,, you need an ambush to get a jump on the animals before they see or smell you. Also I don't think the average rancher would allow you to chouse the whole heard and probably run it thru fences. There is an article in P.A. a couple of years ago where Souix man got to hunt them from horseback, would be awsome if you could put it together. Howard Hill also killed a big bull from horseback and the story is in his book, hunting the hard way. Kenneth

Kenneth, I think most good ranch horses would do the job. I have run down a lot of wild beef bulls and cows on my yellow horse. I am quite sure you are right about the ranchers frowning on it though. They don't slow down when they see a fence. Justin

And the average Buff,has more wind,and can outlast most any saddle horse.And,you are correct in sayin,a fence dont mean much to a buff,on the move.
