hello all. here we go. as you know the real reason deer are beingreduced in north central counties is to make room for ELK.this is called PA WILDS.its to bring in tourism do to lack of hunters coming in now.rumor has it that buffalo may be next thing that is brought in to bring in tourists.its sad that pgc and dcnr and rendell dont see that biggest tourism was HUNTING.why they wasted away a billion dollar HUNTER business is beyond me.i still say their real reason is to get us out of woods HUNTING and put cameras in our slings to carry.will these tourist that they say will come in be in favor of us walking next to elk carrying our guns?will all new use of our forest here in pa .be accepted by those new tourist when they see us coming out of woods carrying guns,bows,blow darts, spears?hell, my cousin scared me coming out of woods last year carrying his bow and camo on his face just before dark.he said,BOO SPROUL BABY,i almost went in my pants, ha.anyhow, this gives you something to think about.

One problem with your theory: Buffalo need open ground and so do Elk. They are both more of a grazing animal. This kind of conflicts with the virgin forest mentality that is becoming so pervasive. Leveling the overly mature forests to feed buffalo won't sit well with the birdwatching legislators. And if they did cut the timber, the whitetails are gonna breed like cockroaches and hunters will really be in demand then.

Thats exactly right livbucks.

HMMM, I've heard that buffalo is really tasty

Yea, BTB.
I would have to become a "fuzzy brown, it'sdown" hunter then.
Killing a buffalo would feed two families for two years!

You've obviously never seen my two teenage boys eat!

You guys should come out here then. The Flying D Ranch near my place has plenty of them . I'm sure Ted T. would be more than willing to let you whack one... for the right $$$ !
BTW, It tastes GREAT!

Thinking more of Emus. Already got hundreds of 'em within a few miles of my camp.

Here's a couple of Ted's .
