Save a wild buffalo ......

[Waya]

.............by applying for and not using one of the hunting tags


If you disagree with Montana's Buffalo hunt there is a simple and effective way to show your opposition, and save one of the last wild buffalo from being hunted down on their winter range.

1. If the Bison have a sustainable population and the hunt is well run .....

... in the long run this the best thing for the bison. Cruel or not
that is the fact. Bison are evolutionarily made to be killed and
eaten. So not unless you allow grizzly bear, mountain lion, and
wolves to follow the bison out into their winter range some harvesting
is good for the "health of the heard."

2. Not to sure of the legalities here.

Plus it's a waste of time, if theres a set number of animals to be culled. they'll just issue more tags, until that numbers reached. I think theres also a non-refundable deposit involved.

3. In doing genealogical research I came across a character in my family

tree (not a direct relative) who was the one to save the last thirteen Buffalo in the world. This was around 1880 and as he watched thousands and thousands of pelts come into the trading post in Manitoba, at one time, - he realized they were in danger and set about capturing some baby and juveline buffalo.

Those thirteen were the ancestors of what buffalo we have left today.

4. Where do you live?

Maybe it would be better to begin a transplant program for the buffalo to your state, or some other state where the buffalo used to roam.
