"As a boy I read books and articles about mountain men, hunters, trappers, and explorers of the early West. I often day dreamed about what it might have been like to live as they did, in the Wilds, out in the Big Lonesome. Experience what they experienced while hunting deer, elk, and bison, without the so called luxuries of modern man. I guess I never grew-up. "

Our Western Frontier intrigued many a man in the 18th and 19th centuries. Those that left the cities and civilization overcome with curiosity and the overwhelming desire to take on the challenges of the unknown became the Mountain Men, the Plainsmen, the Hunters, Trappers, and Explorers that were so admired and idolized by those they left behind and by us today. These were men and women who chose to walk away from the crowds, to subject themselves to the ultimate trials, drawn by the constant pull of adventure, and then the Bison and the "Big Lonesome" were gone, succumbing to the white man's advances.

In today's world of Theme Park "Wilderness Areas" and video edited "Perfect Hunts" people have forgotten what hunting is really about. All decked out, with the latest space age technology and equipment tomorrow men will drive out from their five star accommodations in a "Cadillac" to shoot and whack the horns off of the caged prey, their only true interest and satisfaction being in what the animal's score will be and how soon they will get back to the comfort of the lodge.

These "Plush Hunts" seemingly have become the norm in today's world. The more amenities the better the hunt. But in reality that's the way it has always been in the "White Mans" world. Few people have ever had the grit to go into the true Wilds under true conditions and take meat. Some people fantasize about being able to experience the Wilds of the West, and that is all it is, a fantasy. The reality is they wouldn't do it if presented the opportunity and couldn't cut it if they did attempt. The few that have the grit and could cut it, dream about it. But in today's world where are you going to find it? It is out there. Not all of the "Big Lonesome" has given way to modern man.

For those who now choose to walk away from the crowds in the broad expanse of High Desert Country in the American West known as the Great Basin, lies a unique opportunity. A unique place where wilderness is not a theme park. A place where millions of acres are virtually untrammeled by modern man and his modern ways. A place where the details are the unknowns. A place for those whose thirst for adventure is not quenched by fancy amenities. A place for those with the insatiable desire to experience the wilds of the 1800's and for those with the grit to carry it out.

It's Real Bison Hunting Experiences in the Remaining "Big Lonesome".
