Beyond The Shot: What It Really Takes To Hunt Bison
Send us a text
A bison, two determined hunters, and a nine-hour battle to pack out pounds of wild meat from the Yukon wilderness. This is hunting stripped down to its essence.
Kaleb Graham shares his late-season bison hunt with hunting partner McGinnis – a story filled with strategy, perseverance, and the raw challenges that make hunting in remote territories so rewarding. After spotting a herd of 54 bison on a distant ridge, the pair abandoned their snowmobiles and embarked on a four-kilometer stalk through deep snow and difficult terrain. With careful planning and perfect wind direction, they crawled to within 82 yards of their quarry before Kaleb made a clean shot with his .45-70 lever action.
What followed was the true test – a grueling nine-hour ordeal to butcher and transport quarters weighing over 100 pounds each back to their snowmobile. Working until nightfall, they meticulously harvested every usable part of the animal, honoring it through complete utilization. The meat care was impeccable, hanging for a week at perfect temperatures to develop its rich flavor.
This episode captures what authentic hunting is about – not trophy animals or easy victories, but challenging yourself in wild places, connecting with nature, and bringing home clean, sustainable protein earned through sweat and determination. If you appreciate real hunting stories told with honesty and respect for the animals pursued, this conversation will resonate deeply. Have you experienced your own epic pack-out?
