You sir provide the upmost example of ethical hunting I have found. I wish more guys in the field acted as such. Keep up the good work.
Thanks. And thanks for watching.
Mmmmmm buffalo meat!!!! I LOVE eating bison!!! It's really not all that different from beef, but what difference there is I really enjoy.
Wild bison has a sweet taste compared to beef. Remarkable quality.
It is also insanely lean. I’ve had burgers made from them and there’s not even a drop of grease
*Hey buddy, you keep those killers away from the buffalo, okay? I loved that dog... I was sorry to hear about your loss. :(*
**many vegans are typing...**
JOSEPH?! WHATR U DOIN ERE'!?
Very nice, bison is so mouthwateringly delicious. I certainly agree that nowhere near enough restoration effort has been put into the American bison. If the FWS and the eco-nuts put as much effort and money into bison as they did with wolves, we'd have brucellosis free herds of bison roaming wide expanses again. Hunting opportunities would be far more plentiful for Americans to be able to enjoy this delicious and pure wild meat on their tables.
No, the flavor is very close to beef but has its own very mild distinction. It is leaner than beef and thus healthier too, particularly when you consider that it is hormone and antibiotic free... 100% natural.

@indiapale The enviro-nut politicians (who don't want hunting or ranching at all) want to blame the ranchers and hunters for the confinement of the bison, rather than finding a solution (for their political grand-standing); and on the other side, the money-grubbing politicians don't want to set up a program for ranchers to get assistance (that would come from trophy fees) to deal with BTB and Brucellosis that can be spread by the bison to domestic herds, because they want the taxpayer's dollar and license fees to go to their pet projects (which improves their chances of getting bribes... I mean, excessive campaign contributions). The problem, like with most things in this land today, is that the majority of the people in a position to do the right thing... don't want to, because they benefit from the way things are... same way it was when the bison were wiped out and the native nations were driven from their lands, despite having treaties with the US
Randy Newberg is the " Mr. Rogers" of hunting
Now that's funny.
Us old guys see that as a great compliment! Funny fer sure though!
🐂🔫
Ya know now that you mentioned it you aren’t wrong
"Thank you Mr. Bison, thank you thank you."
Made me tear up a little. I'm not one for hunting, but the way you respected that bison made me happy.
I know a lot of hunters and work at a sporting goods hunting shop. The many people who claim to respect animals do the exact opposite.
Thank you for respecting the animal. Bisons truly are magnificent creatures.
Did you have to buy another freezer?
🐂🐂🔫
I appreciate you concern for these beautiful beast. It's a shame they were hunted so badly back in the late 1800s when there were so many. Man can be greedy at times when it comes to killing the wild. Thank you taking me along on your hunt.
Thanks for watching. I wish the numbered in the millions, as they did 150 years ago. And I wish they were not the target of such political games that keeps them from being managed as wildlife.
Gene Wiley is your
The government had policies to purposely slaughter the buffalo and starve native prairie tribes into starvation and force them into accepting treaty deals for their land. It wasnt just over hunting, but a deliberate and purposeful slaughter, promoted by government as a method of clearing the land for settlers/farmers/ranchers, as well as force hostile native tribes to submit.
@@Fresh_Tracks think there's more of them nowadays
I wanted to understand what a macabre pleasure it feels to kill a wild animal .... everyone already has so little space to live .... very sad.
I’d love to see the bison population increase. They were almost killed off. I enjoy your videos. These people are crazy. I wouldn’t want the audience. The observers would have pounced all over you. I know these people are nuts.
Appreciate your attitude knowledge and ethics, Thanks Randy from a Missoula native.
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
nice hunt, thanks for sharing. I love buffalo burgers and eat them when ever I spot it offered on a restaurant menu. Probably not from a wild herd like your bison. I have tagged many deer and a few cow elk in my younger years. Much better eating than store bought meat.It's a shame that anti hunters and anti gun people troll hunting videos and leave nonsense comments. Perhaps in their myopic views they are content eating cage raised chicken and livestock doped with growth hormones and fillers, yet they are disgusted and scream bloody murder when hunters ethically harvest game animals. Appears they are so miserable that they feel compelled to spread their worthless rhetoric onto others.
CACTUS STEW - He hunted bison. Not buffalo.
I live in northern Colorado and since you filmed this we have had an introduction of bison in my county right on the Wyoming border (12 bison Were brought down from Yellowstone) that has grown faster than expected and is already in the triple digits and close to if not over carrying capacity for the public land, hopefully they will get spread to even more of the state and eventually we will have tags for them
Randy, you seem to also embody Fred Bear's view on hunting. Good on ya', bro.
“I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target, but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and the sure knowledge that nature’s ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow.” -- Fred Bear
Thanks for the kind comment. Fred Bear left some big footprints on the hunting landscape. When we seek our own food and the responsibility that comes with that, a huge dose of humility and appreciation for the animals follows. As a hunter, you know full well that feeling. Thanks for watching.
It’s like RDR2 😍🥰
EZEL5 5 💀
Not the legendary one tho
gustavonarez i know
It's crazy how the herd remained so close that someone had to keep warding them off.
Great job, Randy, on showing so much respect on such a touchy and political subject.
It is a crazy behavior, but one that I am told has evolved over eons. Another behavior that is seemingly strange, but makes sense when I think about it, is the instinct of bison to stop and form a tight group when they sense danger. For eternity, that defense mechanism served them well, be the biggest, baddest, toughest dudes on the prairie. That defense mechanism was part of their demise when the market shooters showed up in the 1800's.
I love hunting myself being from South Africa and growing up with hunting, but why oh why would anyone want to shoot an animal as beautiful as a wolf an animal that you can not eat for starters and a predator at that, very dissapointed in you Randy and i love watching your hunting trips but this clip of the wolf not for me
Because they can be bad for the environment where I hunt they introduced a non native species of wolfs and the deer and elk populations went way down and the ranchers have lost a ton of cattle this year to wolfs alone so they can be cute but they can also cause a lot of harm if not controlled or introduced to non native areas
@@jimgay9008 Definitely i am for controlled culling which is very necessary indeed, i have been on a elephant cull once where all the grown men shed a tear afterwards because they are such majestic animals, but unfortunately it had to be done because the sheer destructiveness of the herd was immense, but still very difficult to do none the less
I just saw that I immediately got tense, I really wanted to go hunting, I am also a hunter from Indonesia, my brother
ever shot an orangutan?
"Mike Smith"
Hunting is about CONSERVATION or "the wise use of resources." Having established hunting seasons, a limited number of tags and strict enforcement is what has brought bison and other species back from the brink. These tags are given by the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks department to ensure that bison continue to flourish. Wildlife biologists determine the need to harvest a certain number (10 per year as stated in the video) of bison to allow the population to grow. And no, they did not leave that bison. Randy Newberg uses every bit of each animal he harvests. Watch more episodes of his show and you will learn a lot.
16:52
I gotcha
Coming across free range bison in Montana is something special. You don’t see a lot of them here but they do call Montana home.
Great stuff, and congratulations on what is I'm sure a freezer full of great meat. you said it correctly. Our hope, to have more free range Bison hunting is on the shoulders of the hunter. I can only hope that someday in my life time we (hunters) will unite in that fight and see this happen.
Hunting bison is like hunting in red dead they just fine w you being there
It is really nice to see the sportsmanship used there, this is my favorite hunting channel for sure! Hunters like you are the ones keeping it the way it should be, way to go!!!!
Just a quick note to tell you how much I appreciate all you do for our way of life. Thanks for being the real deal.
Thank you. And thanks for watching. Good luck this season.
Over the past year or so, I have been researching and watching videos on Hunting. To be honest, I had such an incorrect idea of what hunting really is (if there really can be such a thing) this video among some others really taught me that its more than just bagging an animal. It more than just the kill, its everything leading up to it, its about the hunt, its about the animal, its about observation and appreciation. There is anxiety and stress, the lucky and the unlucky.. great comradery and great food. Thanks for the lesson and I cant wait to start hunting.
Awesome footage!
And just love the dude keeping the bisons at a distance with a stick while you were skinning yours :D
I don’t encourage shooting animals but I’m ok because I understand why they permit it and mostly because I respect your decision to not take that shot simply because it wasn’t what that animal deserved. Good on you sir all the best and stay safe out there 🙂.
I love hunting. Great video :) I hunt and film. It is so much fun!
with all those bison up close watching you skin him would freak me out... surprised how calm they are
They evolved without having to fear anything. When harassed, they herd up and face danger. That worked really good for many thousands of years. They have not changed that behavior. Thanks for watching.
Hey Randy was that the 180 accubonds?
Looks like they did a good job.
The top 5 animals I wish to hunt are the bison, black bear, alligator, moose and African buffalo.
Ethical hunting my ass lmao how do you not want to shoot a bison In front of people yet you shoot a bison and post it to 150,000 people 😂😂😂😂 makes sense
Can they not be tagged and vaccinated?
Field dress the bison in front of the group. Screw them.
Jared White 😂😂😂 if they were being assholes and harassing the hunters I would have shot one right in front of them
I guess we know where the 👎came from on this video. What a bunch of immature clown ❄️❄️❄️❄️. Keep on doing what you’re doing. God Bless
My family raised cattle and horses when I was growing up, and have dealt with buffalo in the past. One thing I've learned that to hunt then you need to do it the way of the Indian hunters with bow and arrows , otherwise you're hunting cows grazing in the open plains.
Blue sky outfifting Kevin McNeil will take you Buffalo hunting in Northern Alberta the big boys
Some Day Randy.
If one gets an application in timely, you can hunt bison in the Crow Reservation, and if you are lucky. The Crow bison are free ranging, and as wild as wild can be. I was lucky, and got one. Fair chase, no garrantee and no refund if you fail to get one. I used a Shiloh Sharps, of course.
Always wanted to hunt bison! I love large animals and bison are one of a kind!
was like my mtn. goat hunt, probably 10 hikers all around me and the goat.... passed on the goat.
I think they should be hunted in the old flavorable ways.. such as by horse and wagon, with period type firearms..
Sir you should help lead the way into America vaccinating all the buffalo, the government knows it can be and should be done wish you sir would get with the congressmen in that area and push for help in vaccinations for all of them just as we do cows
i like hunting, i also really like bisons. I'm confused
United States needs to change the national animal to the Bison
What a fascinating episode! Great job encapsulating not only the hunt, but the political quagmire these wild Bison are tangled up in. I wonder what sort of conversations were had with those skiers...
It was an interesting conversation over the day of scouting and the day we shot the bison. At the end, they commented, "We've never seen a carcass picked as clean as you guys picked it. The ravens will be disappointed." Like them, I am an advocate for bison, but I'm not going to impose on others' experiences to do so.
4:04 Why does the look on his face make me laugh?
great video, sir. and a nice kill. im an oklahoma native and i too have dreamed about that majestic creature. they truly are the life of the plains. what weapon system did you use? also i had a difficult time seeing the impact of your first shot, did you aim just past and low the point of the "elbow"? what did you learn and what would you do differently ? can you relate anything from other big game or was this entirely unique? also, if you processed the hide, did you find you had to deal with hide beetles?
The farmer's needs to pay too have the buffalo vacations they got it from cow's their cow's first.
Where is the data that bison have spread any disease cattle herd? Montana like many western states has a lot of "rancher" aka agriwelfare recipients. Those people make up data to keep their less than market rate rents for grazing.
An educational and ethical hunting show? Dedinately subscribing
Edit: i've killed hundereds of bison in hunting games and now all i can think of is hunting them irl
Welcome aboard!
Refuse to shoot a bison in front of 4 people, and then uploads video on yt for 1/2mil people 😂
Doing it in person in front of a buffalo advocacy group that could make you look bad is a whole different thing
Thanks for sharing and for your advocacy Mr Newberg. Is there any greater symbol of the greatness, the vastness and the freedom of America than the wild Bison? Let’s pray that this animal and this country BOTH return to the original glory and splendor.
That would be a great outcome. Thanks for watching.
I drew a Montana bison tag for Gardner mt near Yellowstone was wondering if u new of anybody around there that could help me out
i have all the more respect for you for not taking a shot with the skiiers present and risking your opportunity for a kill. There are never guarantees when hunting. those bison could have ran to another state lile other animals lile to do. Thanks for the respect you show animals, other hunters and non hunters. i am playing catch_up with the shows and it is your hustle and level headness that has me hooked. come back to nm for more gila elk plz and thank you.
Thanks for the kind comments and thanks for watching.
Do you think a henry lever rifle 44 magnum will take a bison any options?
In the first few seconds of the video I already loved it!
Luke Brown same
Noooooooooooooooooo I raise bison
Showing Respect for the Animal and Conservation Growth of Free Range Bison will have to go hand in hand.. The Sad part is most People will not understand.
@DefinitelyNotDan You are actually completely wrong, especially in regard to the state of the bison. People in the 1800s in Montana would be shocked to see the abundant wildlife we have now. Read for yourself, on the FWP's website, fwp.mt.gov/enforcement/wardens/history/
Definitely not Dan, I can guess that you are a citified person that knows very little about actual life other than your tiny little place that you inhabit. You are probably one of those people that thinks food is made in a factory and then put in grocery stores. If you did actual objective research, you would find that it is because of hunters, controlled licensed hunting and then conservation practices mostly funded by hunters, that has resulted in the vast numbers of wildlife that exist today. People in the 1800's? They used the animals till there were very few left by 1900. People like teddy Roosevelt and others like him, including hunters are the ones who started the conservation efforts, that resulted in our current numbers of wildlife. It sure wasn't the city sprawl and urbanites that did it. And if you knew anything about management of animals, you would know the purpose of harvesting a percentage of the animals each year for the preservation and well being of the rest. Also, you don't seem to realize that humans are also part of nature, but modern society doesn't seem to understand that, sitting in their fancy apartments in their urban surroundings, oblivious to how real life is happening all around them.
This video shares a truth so few Americans know, that it was hunters in the early 1900's that stepped up to save our wilderness. Without their efforts we may not have elk in lower 48 and many other species. Even today, the casual lover of animals harass and demean hunters while doing absolutely nothing to help nature. It is the ignorance of the impact hunters have upon wilderness and wildlife that really annoys me. It is the hunter, far more than the casual animal lover, that is the reason U.S. has the wild areas that it still has.
We have a winner. For those doubting the fact, I suggest they buy the book, Last Stand. It is the conservation history of America and how hunters fought to save the last bison herds from poachers and exploiters. Link here - amzn.to/2q98mZF
For a big animal why does it seem like one shot takes them down?
Given the fact that most all of the prairie is gone, there are as many bison as th land can support.
BISON BISON .. They are their own species .
Love the video. Great words. Totally agree.
Would love to do this hunt. Congratulations
I want to poke one with a trad bow.Just out of respect.
this has got to be one of the weirdest hunt ive seen on this show, im glad those bystanders wasn't harassing you guys.
Yes, strange to have unknown people walking along behind me trying to film what we were doing.
@@Fresh_Tracks 4 years later i have much respect for you
I appreciate that he thanked the animal
When I saw your channel name I immediately thought it was Randy Newman. "Huh, he's a big game hunter. Who knew?" I guess not.
Yeah crazy....... he such a good musician too .........lots of music dudes love to hunt ......
I know you guys say it was cold well I can hear how cold it was with the crunch of the snow I had to turn my heater up a little bit🤣🤣 great episode guys keep up the good work.
thanks Randy. hopefully next year I will have my tag. I will let you know
Mink man I watch your videos and yes Its good
Coming from a long line of hunters this is what I was raised on! The part of an ethical hunt and taking an animal for food. Great job showing that Randy! The only thing that is sad is seeing the range of Bison before and after. I had no idea that they covered so much of North America including my home state of WI. I see both sides of the debate but I still stand on the side of the conservationists which I'm proud to call myself! Keep up the great work Randy!
Enjoyed the vid ... thank you. Bison should be our national symbol, not that dang white headed, dandified vulture. As for free range, dang the cattle, let the bison roam!
I am planning on doing a Bison hunt for my 40th birthday. I am so excited to do it as well, I cant wait. Keep up the GREAT WORK you do Randy.
Good luck. Great eating to be had.
What rifle and cartridge did you use???
Vaccinations could be given by dart gun
Some of the best wild game I have ever eaten love bison
Agreed. If there is a better source to acquire 400# of the best tasting protein on the planet, I want to know where to get it. Thanks for watching.
What does he mean genetically pure bison? Are there wild bison that aren't genetically pure? How?
Most bison have some cattle genes in them, even some of the wild herds. All but one private bison herd have cattle genetics. Thanks for watching.
Really good!
Hey, have you ever thought about making a parody hunt episode, with "observers" yelling and "observing" and getting in the way?
And one guy critiquing every aspect of your hunting? Could be really funny . . . .
That would be a good one. I would need some good actors to fill in. Thanks for watching.
Randy, I enter into this draw every year, and hope to be able to pull a tag like you did. what were some of the challenges you faced with this specific hunt. Who did you look to for guidance / direction?
Challenges are knowing young bulls from cows. Not hard, once you learn the difference. MT has a great orientation package. Other challenge is getting one out of a roadless area. That was no easy task.
it's like the Bison purposefully avoided Michigan for their original range, I'm offended by their discrimination against my mitten-shaped home!
Does any Michigander not use the mitten when explaining where they live?
*I have a Remington .308 under the Christmas tree, I am going to Montana soon. Season and permits seem confusing. I am determined to get me a Buffalo at least once in my lifetime, bull or cow makes no difference. Meat, hide, bone, sinew, and maybe horns if I get a bull... all will be used! How is the fat? Like beef?*
Nyaleoe mingkak go membuu
I am an avid hunter, and I have watched 80% of your videos, enjoy the content on both successful and unsuccessful hunts. However, I had mixed emotions about the Bison hunt. Honestly, I am not even sure why I have mixed emotions, especially since this is a management hunt no different than any other big game species, I imagine it's just the history involved.
Hmm. Not sure what triggers that, but a few others have said the same. I think it might be that I did not explain the politics of bison as well as I could have and those politics are what keep these herds from expanding as we wish for all species. I also could have done a better job of explaining that bison do not run from danger, rather they have evolved to turn and face danger, a strategy that worked good for danger with teeth, claws, and spears; not such a good response with the advent of the centerfire rifle. Not much we can do to change their behavior. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Prepare to eat rats under Brandon.Better get a grip on your feels and start thinking about self preservation.
Randy, awesome hunt! definitely one for the memory bank. Keep the original, ethical, and entertainment coming. Big Fan!!
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. Best to you.
Great bison, my dad is after one himself in the morning. About how much meat in pounds did you harvest from this bull Randy?
Over 400# of processed meat, not counting the heart, tongue, and tenderloins we took home directly, without giving to the processor.
Which rifle caliber did you use?
Are you going to the Portland sports man show 2017 ???
No, I won't be there. Thanks for watching.
So we all gonna ignore the fact that at 19:00 the other bisons are just chilling around when one of their herd members is being dismembered right in front of them?
I really like the fact that you thank the animal for the sacrifice.
It's nice to see a hunter with respect enough for the animal to honor the animal.
Kudos Randy.😊
Seems appropriate for an animal that is going to feed me and my family.
@@Fresh_Tracks definitely 😊
great job with advocacy and education. Randy for President... well maybe conservation president. You are a great role model and you have my utmost respect. God Bless
Good shooting an icon of the west. But how come no one wants to identify their rifle and/or caliber. Seems as though those details would be interesting to other hunters.
.300 Win Mag. Howa Model 1500. Leupold VX3 3-9x40mm.
Randy Newberg, Hunter thanx
Randy Newberg, Hunter oh and do you think a .308 Winchester can take down bison?
SlickWilly Yes, I helped a friend who used a .308 Win to take a Montana bison.
Whats a good rifle for a beginning hunter
tastes better than cow
Sitka Gear sent me a full outfit of their Juniors hunting line to try and test. Your jacket and pants kinda look like the ones they sent me. Do you use Sitka Gear and do you like it?
damn cattle ranchers think they own the public land that they run cattle on. On the Henry mountains here in Utah, they only allow herd to reach 300 animals. meanwhile there's 20,000 cows running over those mountains. its BS
awsome
The bison makes the 300 win mag look mild.
They are tough, for sure.
I always liked Rush Limbaugh's opinion on endangered species or how to go about bringing back a species and making it thrive again. He said, "If you want to save a species and make it thrive, find a way to make money from it." Because when you do that everyone wants there to be more of them so they can make more money". Simple right? If those "observers" want to make sure the bison are saved and see them prosper and spread across the range they use to then don't aggravate hunters that have paid lots of money to come and hunt the few tags that are given. The money raised from hunting in fees, license dues, and taxes far out raise money that is donated. When I get to go hunt an animal I want to see lots of them, not just a few. I will do a lot to make sure of that, like planting food plots, putting out mineral licks, making sure they have clean water, and even killing predators that have gotten out of control. All of these things cost money and that money in my state is taxed because of the products I purchase for hunting. Mississippi is almost overrun with wild game because of the money raised thru taxes to oversee the protection and conservation of these animals.
Who scored this video?
****************** I agree with your opinion to keep them safe and in big numbers. Wish it was up to 800.000
