And now, a word from guests at The Bison Ranch at Coteau Ridge:    Thanks again for having us in for the weekend. I had a great time and I think Colin thought he had died and gone to heaven. We have gone on a lot of vacations over the years but this was by far his favorite trip. I wish I had done something like this sooner with him. Again, thanks for all of the hospitality and we are hoping to get the chance to come back (No doubt in Colin's mind we're coming back!)                  --Terry Morin Roswell, GA 404-386-7922  "Oren, it's always a great time here. This is my fifth time and each is better than the last. We have a new record for skinning and quartering a 2 ½ year old:14 minutes flat. Thanks! See ya next time! -- Dale Vanderworp East China, MI. DRVAN_1@COMCAST.NET "Beautiful country, wonderful wildlife and bison, great hosts and a tremendous experience. We appreciate the opportunity! May God bless you and we'll be back! --Dane and Chris Owens Tucson, AZ "Oren and Connie,thanks so much for a fantastic time--buffalo, food and friendship. I will enjoy this awesome hunt for a lifetime. See you this fall. Thanks again! --Mike Bruder Firth, NE
"Just wanted to let you know, Bob and I had a great hunt even with the cold weather conditions. Oren went out of his way to satisfy all of our needs and helped solve our vehicle problems. He made us feel at home and did a great job as a guide. Would recommend him and his hunt to anyone who is interested in a quality hunt and great breakfast, with someone who has a good sense of humor." --Stephen Miranda Waterville NY 315-861-5784
Oren and Connie,  "Just wanted to take a minute to express my gratitude to you and Oren for everything that you did for our group. You were always willing to answer every question I had. As far as Oren goes, well he is one hell of a great host and guide, damn can he cook! You have yourselves a slice of heaven out there. Just being out before dark watching the sunset and wildlife made the trip worth it. I could not believe the number of deer we saw. Hopefully the next time I am watching them I will have a permit in my pocket. As far as the bison, all we can say is WOW! Wow, are they hard to kill. Wow, do they take up the freezer space. Wow, do they taste good. This is the best meat we have ever eaten. I have no plans of eating beef again. As soon as the freezers start getting empty you will be hearing from us. If luck is with us we might see you this fall to reduce that deer herd by a few. If the licensing gods are not with us we will be back sometime next winter for more bison. Everything worked out just fine with Maverick Meat's services as well as J+K. Both companies are first-class, as it should be if they are recommended by a first class business such as yours. Once again, thank you so much. I have never felt more at home when away from home as I did during my stay. ---Mike Sutheimer, a soon to be repeat guest! Milwaukee, Wisc.
"Thanks for taking such good care of us. We really appreciate the hospitality. I think you can safely increase the population of Pingree by two. Everyone treated us as if we were family. It's nice to know that so many good people really exist. Oren you're the best, just make sure you put those little chocolate mints on the pillows when you make the beds. Thanks again." ---Beard and Ralph --F. Beard Hobbs Le Mesa, CA
"Just wanted to say thanks for the great hunt. The meat is excellent along with the jerky. " --The Two John Richardsons Ocala, Flo.

"Thanks for a great time. The bison are huge! Hope to see you at bow season." --Andy Yax Clyde, Mich. axman58@hotmail.com "Beautiful animals!

You made this trip a memorable experience. Love the state, people and The Bison Ranch." --James Havelka, Pflugsville, TX "It was great! A pistol hunt that didn't have to be finished with a rifle! Good job by the host to get me close. Can I come back if I get a North Dakota deer tag? Man, what a deer herd! --Jim Thompson Eagan, MN	Dear Connie and Oren, Just a note to let you know how much fun the four of us had. We all enjoyed the time spent at your place. I enjoyed the opening and closing the gate for Oren, and feeding the stock. The hunt was a real treat. The four of us were not sure what to expect, but what a pleasant surprise! All of us are just waiting for our bison meat to arrive so that we can have a big BBQ. The way Oren took care of us was just great. I hope that we did not wear out our welcome as we all want to go again! Hope to see you again soon! --- Ric Kienitz      Camarillo, CA   "Thanks Oren and Connie and The Bison Ranch.

Hi Oren and Connie, I have been very busy with work the last few weeks but I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say Thanks !! for all the fun we had. Oren was alot of fun to hang around with. He is alot like us and knows how to joke around and laugh which is right up our alley. We will definitely be back for another hunt but we want to hunt ducks and geese this time as well. I have sent some pictures for you as well. Take care and we'll see you next year.  --Joe DeRosiers Fountain Valley, CA

The food, accommodations were second to none. Thanks so much. See you in the fall!" --Randy Bell Cobleskill, NY
Connie and Oren, Troy and I had some buffalo steaks last night for dinner and we wanted to tell you that was the best piece of meat we have ever had. It was so wonderful. Troy asked me to email you and let you know. He would also like to thank you for the wonderful experience you gave him, and your hospitality. We are anxiously awaiting for the jerky, it is so great, I don't know what your secret is, but it's the best! Again thank you for the wonderful time you gave he and his dad. They had a wonderful time." Thanks, Troy & Teresa --- Teresa Moore      Star, Idaho
