    A real ethical dilemma for me...

    If I had absolutely no other option other than certain death, I guess I would have to :sad:

    I think you can hunt bison in Oklahoma like you can deer, quail, turkey, etc.

    Ok... I was wrongish. I'm not quite sure how my roommate's (while in college) dad was able to hunt bison... probably a commercial bison "farm" or something...

    I miss meat. :(

    Why are you missing meat? Is all of it tainted where you live? If not, eat that *kitten*.

    I actually think I am in love with you..

    I don't even kill bugs. For food, or otherwise.

    I love you.

    Buffalo are still endangered, aren't they?

    I would absolutely kill animals myself for food, but I'm in favor of Pleistocene rewilding, so probably not an actual buffalo.

    no. there are commercial operations that raise them for their meat. i think Ted Turner even owns the largest such ranch in Montana.

    Yep, which started Ted's Montana Grill... I think he owns most of Montana hahaha.

    Best bison dish I've had aside from a burger were bison pot stickers at Montana Ale Works in Bozeman, MT. Sooooo yummy.

    Fun Fact: Ted Turner's huge ranch (largest private tract of land in the US I think) is on the northern New Mexico/Southern Colorado border. But he also has lots of holdings in Montana.

    We saw these babies a couple of weekends ago just south of Denver:

    Yes most definitely. I am such a carnivore. I wouldn't kill just for sport though for any animal. But I do love me some meat!! :heart:

    Yup. I'll hunt for food, not for trophies or sport though.

    Of course, if it was farm-raised bison, like the ones around the corner from our farm. Bison is delicious, like beef wishes it was. Wild bison, maybe not.

    Buffalo is delicious -and- supposedly healthier than chicken. I'm in!

    Would I hunt for my food as humans beings for generations before have? Yes, I would.

    I like bison, deer, rabbit, ... I don't (knowingly) eat dog or horse though... Of course, one never knows what is really in those school lunch programs....



    I've eaten bison, deer, moose ( the best ever), camel ( in Egypt), ostrich, squab, goose, duck, rabbit, squirrel, lamb, mutton, goat, wild boar, and horse, which I didn't care for. The horse was a young pony stallion, a nasty little biter and kicker, better for meat than any other use, but a bit gamy, no marbling at all, I probably won't eat horsemeat again. No ethical problem, just don't like the flavor. Brother-in-law liked it, but he would eat anything.

    Wouldnt it be like a $23 burger then?

    I would kill one as well. What method would you use? They are pretty frigging huge and wont go down that easily.

    If I were starving and unable to find another source of food. Then, yes, .30-06 aimed at three inches above its tear duct. One shot, no pain.

    I killed a buffalo for its wings just for looking at me the wrong way...

    Couldn't do it... if we ran out of meat somehow, my family & I would have to learn to be vegetarian. Unless, of course, my hubs killed & cleaned it, then I would cook it up 100 different ways :smile: Does it taste gamey like lamb? If so, I still wouldn't eat it.

    If I needed the food and planned to use the whole animal, yes. If I just felt like I wanted a bison (buffalo) burger, no.

    Waste not, want not.

    With a Lever Action 45-70 and utilize as much of the animal as I possibly could.

    Depends on whether that buffalo put tomatoes on a cheese sandwich and insisted on calling it a "grilled cheese." Then, yeah, I might have to kill him. Unless he just called it a cheese and tomato sandwich. Then we'd be cool.

    Buffalo are pretty reasonable, but can get kind of lazy with their sandwich nomenclature. You gotta stay on top of that. Otherwise, anarchy.

    If you think for one second that lamb ( tender, delicious lamb) tastes gamey, you must have had mutton. Or venison.

    I have killed plenty of animals for food. Why would a buffalo be any different?

    you must have had American Lamb, as naturally raised lamb is gamey even more so when your used to US commercial meats.
    American Lamb is raised eating grain similar to US beef mixture of grains/animal by-product and misc other things it leads to a imo semi-bland meat its also larger in physical size then naturally raised.

    I've had American lamb, New Zealand lamb, grass-fed free range lamb, lamb in Egypt, and small-farm back-yard lamb in the Caribbean, and none of it was gamey.
