There are quite a few around, being raised. Last time I went to the Willowas there was an enclosed range of many hundreds of acres (BIG STRONG fences) with a herd of 50 or 60. I think it was a Nez Perce operation. If you haven't seen one of those big male fellows up close, you've missed something. Really impressive.<BR/><BR/>Montana is having a big debate about putting an end to these game ranches where assholes like Cheney drink and shoot. Game ranches(for hunting, though that's a misnomer) are illegal in Idaho, I think Montana will end up that way too, sooner rather than later. There was a big too doo in the paper recently about some incidents in Montana, game getting out, genetics, people injuries,etc. The pressure is on the Montana legislature.<BR/><BR/>I don't know about Yellowstone, except that the buffalo wandering out of the park has always been a big deal. Same with the wolves, and grizzlies. And the Elk.<BR/><BR/>We can often find buffalo meat in the stores here. Little pricey, little tough sometimes. I hardly ever buy it.<BR/><BR/>I'll defend the Nez Perce. They may take one down now and then for old times sake, but they are raising them too. Also, they have worked hard with the Appaloosa horse, and very hard with the salmon and steelhead runs enhancement programs. I have no complaints about the Nez Perce. Cheney and folk like him ought to be shot, but not necessarily for political reasons. Just for being borish citified cretans.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-70008029714628332162007-11-28T00:00:00.000-05:002007-11-28T00:00:00.000-05:00If you're talking about Dick Cheney, he can't hit ...If you're talking about Dick Cheney, he can't hit the buffalo or the truck, but if you're a buddy you better be wearing kevlar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
