That's hilarious I wish that it did a few weeks ago would have got the same treatment

We don’t live in the same world that existed when the buffalo were roaming free. Bison don’t respect fences all that well, and yes they are dangerous. I would sooner run into a grizzly. They were wanting to do the same thing in Waterton and people weren’t too happy about it. Gee. I wonder why.

Yes they definitely were going to do the same thing in Waterton. That was until cattlemen pointed out there was a long unfenced international border. Buffalo roaming back and forth would shut down international meat trade.

6.5 million is not really that much for a bison. Listen to my wife and you’d think I spend at least that much every year for a scrawny little whitetail

Right into cattle ranching country. Those guys have little patience for this nonsense and Phillips's protection order won't mean squat.

The government wasting money is nothing new, happens all the time. I'd rather they waste it on bison reintroduction than something else!
I freaken love the idea of seeing bison in the 400's wmu's. Just hope I live long enough to see it happen.

Why??
You have zero chance of hunting them, unless you have a card. It will be some kind of “reconciliation” bs, and they will probably shut down areas for that to happen. Iirc Phillips was overheard talking about using the “bison migration route” as an excuse to shut down licensed hunting in the porkies? Bet they knew exactly where these bulls would go and now it’s happened, that’s the next step.
None of this bodes well for licensed hunting. I understand the ecological reasoning, and if they would manage them appropriately and without racial bias, I’d be all for it. But we know that won’t happen.

It didn't. I suggest you read a book on what the prairies were when bison were there and go take a look now. The only things still truly common is its flat.

I think more wolves are the answer to controlling bison.
Apparently they have done an excellent job in Yellowstone...
There goes another 6 million or so of your tax dollars!

And it burned, regular as clockwork.

It had to be euthanized?
That's funny… I'm sure it woulda been euthanized for free soon after it stepped out of the Park and onto somebodies ranch.
