Hunting Across Generations

This hunt wasn’t just about the bull…

Ward Butler shared a post that is as much about family as it is about the hunt. After a season of chasing game together, he and his nephew capped it off with a Yellowstone bison hunt on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation—an adventure to remember. The moment was made even more meaningful when Ward harvested a bull with his grandfather’s rifle, connecting three generations in a single, unforgettable experience.

It is a reminder that these hunts aren’t just about the trophy…they are about the people, the memories, and the stories that stick with you long after the season ends.

Congratulations!
