Private Bison Hunting Ranch in Wyoming

The US has a healthy and growing bison population, with approximately 500,000 bison in North America. Fees paid by hunters provide a large portion of the funds for conservation efforts that support this growth. Hunting bison on public land is nearly impossible because the required tags and permits are so challenging to obtain. Wyoming is one of just four US states that allow free-range bison hunting on private ranches.

We supplied a Firelake P77 incinerator to one of Wyoming’s private bison hunting ranches. With rugged mountains, verdant valleys, pristine rivers, and open plains, this remote 11,000-acre bison ranch is an excellent habitat for raising and harvesting bison and a breathtaking home for wildlife of all types – large and small land animals, birds, and fish.

Bison are large animals. One-and-a-half-year-old heifers and young bulls often weigh 700 – 850 pounds, and 6 – 16-year-old trophy bulls can weigh 2,000 lbs. Their size, stature, stamina, and other factors make them challenging to hunt successfully. When a hunter is successful, the harvested bison is field-dressed, then transported to a meat processor and possibly a taxidermist of the hunter’s choice.

Proper disposal of the animal remains is crucial for sanitation and to protect air and water quality. Acceptable disposal methods are incineration, rendering, burial, and composting. Onsite incineration is easy, efficient, and cost-effective. The Firelake P77 incinerator was designed to process large animals. The ranch can process waste from field dressing, animals who succumb to disease, and waste generated from daily ranch operations

P77 incinerators are ideal for processing large animals in remote locations.

Efficient. Organic matter is reduced by 96%; the ash is inert and can be buried or disposed of in a traditional waste steam
Cost-effective. Budget-friendly to purchase, operate, and maintain; Firelake incinerators have the lowest operating costs in the industry
Energy efficient. The insulated, refractory lined chamber walls and stack retain energy and recirculate flue gasses
Practically invisible. The incinerator itself is relatively small and emits no discernable noise, smell, or smoke
Easy to load through the large 79-inch by 27-inch top hatch
Easy to unload
Sized for large animals. The primary chamber is 77 cu ft and holds 2,541 lbs.
Simple to operate - click one button to start; the incinerator shuts off when the incineration process completes
Rugged design. Locate it in the open air or an enclosure
Maintenance is easy. Training takes less than 30 minutes and uses standard tools your maintenance person uses for other equipment
