Hunting the magnificent buffalo in a traditional manner is unequaled in excitement and adventure. Our bison hunts will enable you to relive a bygone era using methods that were used to hunt buffalo over a century ago.

Locating your trophy bull bison on a ranch this size makes for a true bison hunt. You will be hunting bison from a buffalo herd that roams the mystical and enchanting hills of the southwest New Mexico.

Buffalo are the largest North American game animal and it requires big bullets to stop them. Buffalo are unpredictable and elusive which makes it hard to determine when and where you will be successful, but we do guarantee the hunt. Head, cape for mounting, and meat are the property of the hunter. Meat processing fees are not included, although we will make arrangements. Buffalo hunts are guided one on one. You will be buffalo hunting either by horseback or 4WD-ATV, which will be provided.

We pride ourselves in offering the most authentic reproduction of the hunts of yester-year. Several hunt packages and options are available. Our buffalo camp is traditional. It includes a hunter cabin, cook cabin, horse corrals, saddle barn, and skinning tree. You'll have no doubt you're in the rugged Turquoise hills of Santa Fe! You'll be amazed at the peaceful, juniper covered landscape. Just minutes from downtown Santa Fe.

Both natives of South Dakota Monte and Lana have lived in New Mexico for over 35 years. They have been in the buffalo industry for almost two decades. It started with two orphan calves from the Bison ranch where "Dances with Wolves" was filmed, and a life long interest in buffalo became a passion with Monte. Their animals are humanely cared for...and their breeding program has a strong focus on horn growth and massive animals for record-book trophies!

Considered a Mom & Pop outfitter, they strive to make each hunter feel welcome. Their our goal is to make this a "Hunt of a Lifetime" that each hunter will remember and talk about for years to come.

Working closely with the Bonanza Creek Ranch, the hunts take place on 5000 acres of rugged, high desert country. BCR is not only a working longhorn ranch but also a movie set and home of Silverado, Into the West, Lonesome Dove, Wild Hogs and many more feature films over the past 20 some years.

Making their debut in the world of SCI at the Reno Convention in 2005, thousands of attendees admired their FULL BODY BISON MOUNT and commented on the fabulous work done by Dennis Otero, Majestic Monarch Taxidermy.

Most recently added to the program are YAK and the European Wisent - which are in very low numbers in the United States. These animals were once hunted in Poland and Romania, now considered an endangered species.

We hope you will consider hunting American Buffalo with LaMont's. Feel free to call (505) 869-4438 and set up your hunt with the rustic amenities and enjoy the beautiful southwest!

OUTDOORSMAN.COM OUTFITTER OF THE MONTH - OCTOBER 2008

If you are looking for an exciting Trophy Elk hunt or a Trophy Bison hunt, but you do not have the time for the endless hours of scouting, or your hunting environment just does not produce the size of elk you dream of hunting then look no further. Our beautiful surroundings make this 500 acre border property hunt, a feeling of being out in the mountains. Okay, so you don't think that hunting elk that reside with in a bordered piece of property is hunting. Guess that all depends what hunting means to you. If it wasn't hunting the SCI (Safari Club International) would not recognize and have a scoring system for these types of animals.

We are not going to convince you this ranch hunt is the same as an elk hunt where the closest elk you may see during the hunt is over 500 yards away and two mountain ranges over from where you are or that you get to ride hours into your camp on a horse or mule. If that is what you want, then this hunt is not for you. HOWEVER, if that is not what you desire then this hunt is for you. This ranch hunt provides a more relaxed and laid back atmosphere for the discriminating hunter that has constraints which offer him an OPTION from chasing that elusive bull all over the side of a mountain for 7 to 10 days, with absolutely no guarantee.

When you hunt elk with BLACK CANYON BULLS you will see the elk that you are there to harvest, be provided you with that shot opportunity and be guaranteed the shot or your deposit is all you pay for your hunt. As the hunter you will be afforded the opportunity to spot and stalk thru oak and service berry thicket, bugle them in during the rut or still hunt over well traveled trails or frequented water holes. You can make it as physically challenging or as easy as you want, not to mention that you can change the way you hunt during the hunt. Had enough of the spot and stalk, still hunt for awhile in a elevated stand and then go back to spot and stalk, the choice if yours.

Watch for us on "Keith Warren's Hunting & Outdoor Adventures" on the Outdoor Channel Tuesday April 15th, 2008 at 3:00pm EST and Sunday April 20th, 2008 at 3:00am & 11:00am EST.

OUTDOORSMAN.COM OUTFITTER OF THE MONTH - JANUARY & FEBRUARY 2007

For the real outdoorsman, the challenge of a trophy bison/buffalo hunt has no equal. Lake Bonneville Bison Ranch in Oak City offers a number of unique experiences.

Our central Utah ranch buffalo hunts guarantee you the most prime conditioned buffalo anywhere! You keep everything. We help you do it all. Trophy Bulls available up to 2200 lbs!

Come enjoy a hunting adventure with your entire family! If not everyone feels like hunting at the same time - we offer an era decorated quality cabin to stay warm in. After the buffalo hunt, you can all gather inside and eat homemade buffalo chili and homemade bread. Truly a place to relax. Contact Lambert Dutson - bison ranch manager and buffalo guide.

Bison or Buffalo? It is the same animal. The technical name is "American Bison". When the first settlers and mountain men happened upon the great bison, they didn't know what they were and for lack of a correct name they called them Buffalo. The name stuck and today most people refer to beautiful animals as such.

You're welcome to come to Oak City, Millard county, Utah and see our buffalo where we keep upwards of 300 bison. We have learned to keep them segregated in multiple pastures and pens out of necessity. They are gregarious animals and love to be together, however, they are extremely wild and at times very violent to the extreme of killing each other. We lose animals each year in fights. Each group has a pecking order and the bosses in each group will keep others from eating. We have learned to keep hay and grain available all the time. As a result of the availability of the feed 24 hours a day our calves grow extremely fast and are ready for harvest early.

We do not pump them up with any substances - growth steroids, drugs, hormones, or antibiotics. We feed them just hay and grains. Our bison are healthy and in prime condition. Premium animals produce premium quality meat. We are "Growers of Premium Bison" and proud of our reputation.

When you come to Oak City, Utah you will find our bison located about 3 blocks east of the church along the Oak City canyon road. Our bison bull ranch hunts take place up that same road about 3 miles at the mouth of Oak City canyon where we have a cabin sitting on the south side of the canyon road next to forest service land. We have most of the bison bull ranch hunts during the winter months and of course during the bad weather. The cabin has a rest room, kitchen facilities, a warm fireplace and many old time items that bring back pioneer memories.

When you come to harvest a buffalo bull, bring your family - many do come. If some of your group isn't interested in watching then the warmth of the cabin offers a retreat for them. After the hunt you can all gather inside and eat homemade buffalo chili and homemade bread and just relax for a while. We will do all we reasonably can to make your experience a good one. We would like you to return again and continue to enjoy the wonderful healthy meat of our premium bison during the years ahead. Our business is built upon our customers coming back again.

We help you do it all. We can arrange for most everything you may need. Bison are very large animals so we have to use a front end loader to handle them after they are down. Our small ones weigh over 1000 pounds and the larger bulls often exceed 2200 pounds. You will end up with 350 to 600 pounds of meat from your animal. If you want, we will gut you buffalo and take it to the meat processor. We can arrange for a taxidermist to be there or you can bring your own. Most people enjoy the fact that they don't have to get dirty. We understand that very well. You dictate what you want us to do.

You keep everything. When it is all settled and done you have many choices --- a beautiful shoulder mount, a European mount with the original horn caps, a robe made from the rear half of the bison hide --- you can have all of them or select what you want. And, of course, all of the meat is yours cut up and processed the way you want it done.

Some families want us to have a premium bison taken to our government inspected meat processor. We're happy to do that and we do it all the time for our customers. You call us and we will help you. In most cases we also can deliver the meat to your door after it is finished. Our government inspected processor will have the meat packaged as you desire, shrink wrapped, quick frozen and boxed for delivery to you. Our cost to you is just $5.50 per pound for any order over 100 pounds. What is the breakdown on the meat portions? Usually it is about 50% premium burger, about 30% roasts and about 20% steaks. If you want different proportions talk to us about it.
