Reasons to Go on a Guided Buffalo Hunt in PA

Hunting buffalo is a powerful, time-honored experience that connects you with both the land and history. It’s not just about the thrill of hunting the largest land animal in North America, but also the physical challenge and spiritual journey it offers. The sheer size of these creatures—some bulls standing six feet tall and weighing over 2,000 pounds—adds to the awe and sense of accomplishment when you manage to take one down.
This hunt is more than just a pursuit; it’s a link to the past. The Plains Indians and early European-American explorers lived off the buffalo, and participating in such a hunt feels like stepping into their shoes, following in their footsteps, and engaging with the wilderness in a meaningful way.
Beyond the challenge, the meat from buffalo is prized for its quality, adding a rewarding aspect of sustenance to the experience. If you’re after bragging rights, imagine the stories and photos you’ll share, showing off the hunt of a lifetime.
Buffalo Hunts Are a Great Challenge!
If you’re a hunter, going on buffalo hunt involves looking for telltale signs. Will you see well-used rubs (scratching surfaces) or large clumps of shed hair hanging from brush along their trails? Between you and your hunting guide, it’s a good challenge to find their trails and ultimately come upon them.
Meanwhile, a buffalo hunt requires physical stamina– this is your chance to be outdoors, on the land, moving around and figuring out where the buffalo roam. Once you do get one, how are you going to get it back to “homebase?” For those who appreciate the process of hunting– preparing for the hunt, doing the hunt, successfully shooting an animal and killing it, and then bringing home the meat– a buffalo hunt is a memorable and exciting adventure.
By the way, did you know buffalo hides make great rugs and blankets when tanned? You can use their skulls as wall ornaments. What’s more, other parts of their bodies can be used for food for humans or for other animals. One large buffalo can provide 600 pounds of meat or more! Their meat is a great protein source that you can use to feed yourself, your family and others. Bison burgers anyone?
