Weapons to Use for Hunting Bison

We recommend using a high-caliber rifle or handgun. Although we have conducted successful bison hunts using compound bows and even muzzleloaders, we recommend you also carry a rifle for backup.

What Caliber Rifle Do I Need for Hunting Bison?

Hunting Bison requires a powerful caliber firearm and a heavy load. That's because of the bison's enormous size and strength, and they are among the most dangerous animals to hunt. Here's why.

Bison:

Typically, bulls can weigh between 1,000 to 2,200 pounds, cows between 800 to 1,200 pounds;
Despite their size, bison are fast, running up to 35 mph, and they're agile and able to change direction rapidly;
have enormous bulk, so smaller calibers may not penetrate to the vital organs; and
are unpredictable when threatened and especially when wounded and may charge you.

So you want to use your biggest caliber weapon with the heaviest cartridge to maximize the probability of taking a bison down when you hit it. Here are a few suggested Calibers for Bison Hunting include:

.308 Winchester
.300 Winchester Magnum
.375 Weatherby
.30-06 Springfield

If you don't see your caliber listed, please call us to determine its suitability for bison hunting.

Description of a Stonebridge Guided Bison Hunt

If you're a guest(s) at our lodge, we will serve you breakfast before starting the hunt. For those of you not staying at our lodge, you'll meet at the Stonebridge front gate, usually around dawn. Just give us a call when you get there.

Before heading out, your guide will explain some basic safety rules, check your equipment, and answer any preliminary questions about hunting Bison. There will be up to three hunters for a guide, few enough to ensure you get the personalized attention you deserve for a perfect hunting experience.

Proceeding to the appropriate hunting area is usually done on foot to avoid spooking the hogs. However, we will use ATVs to transport hunters with special needs, and transport harvested Bison.

What Should I Pack for a Bison Hunt?

In addition to your weapon of choice and ammunition, consider packing
- camouflage clothing
  (While not mandatory, camouflage clothing will most often allow you to get closer to your trophy bison for the perfect shot.);
- a raincoat;
- binoculars;
- a range finder;
- and snacks.

- bring personal toiletries (a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, etc.) We provide linens and towels;
