Buffalo Hunt
Been pretty quiet lately about how the buffalo hunts are going up at Zama. Heading up there in January so been hoping for more success stories or tips. Also if successful, does anyone know the best place to get the hide tanned.

You should have went opening week. Me and a friend tagged out opening day!. I got a herd bull and he got a cow with his bow. I shot mine NW of zama and he shot his south of apache plant. Lots were around the hay zama lakes but who knows where they are now. They are wanders and follow there stomachs. Figure out where they are going and use google maps too get ahead of them. Wait for the ambush and should be easy peazy. Hardest part will be locating them. Just drive around until.you find them. Pm if ya want.

Thanks James_B. I was told to wait till later as opening week is a zoo. Some of the threads I have read almost makes a guy wonder if he made the right decision. Would have been nice with the limited snow when you went and the pics were nice.

There's a Hutterite Colony near Cardston called Riley colony that does skins and furs. They did 2 buffalo for me so far.
Edmonton Fur Tanners I have heard is fairly good... I've never used them.

Ya opening day was the best as in terms of weather. It wasnt actuslly a zoo from what i noticed. I think everyone had the mentality as you being a zoo opening week. I hope its not a zoo for you when you go north.

 Be prepared for a seven foot tall [top of hump] 2600 lb animal...there is no ground shrinkage with these guys...they get bigger the closer you get to them...
