[QUOTE="jmden, post: 590744, member: 1742"] We? You and I killed them all? I don't think so. That is swiss-cheese thinking. Subsistence hunters, but mostly commercial hunters and wolves, yes wolves, killed them 'all', as you say. Not us. Because 'us' are regulated sportsmen that for generations are responsible for the vast majority of the support for wildlife in this country, bringing much of it back to the abundant wildlife we have had. From Defenders of Wildlife's own website! : [url]http://www.defenders.org/programs_and_policy/wildlife_conservation/imperiled_species/bison/background_and_recovery.php[/url] "Habitat and Range Bison once roamed across much of North America in great herds (see map). Historically, bison numbered an estimated 20-30 million. Their constant grazing helped shape the ecology of North America’s Great Plains. Many species of plants and animals depended on them or benefited from them. Prairie dogs preferred the heavily-grazed areas they left, large wolf packs hunted them, and numerous scavengers feasted on bison carcasses." Now, there aren't, in general, subsistence or commercial hunters, just sportsman hunters. So, of the three things mentioned above that killed 'all' the bison, etc. What is left? The wolf. Happily introduced by the Feds. That is great that you are battling the anti hunters, etc., but do your research and get on board with the wolf issue or show us good evidence to the contrary.
