I do agree with you on bison being a “force of nature”. However, I still did not see anything about any damage being done to this guy’s property. The fact that he got other “permission” to kill the bison is quite premeditated, the guy made no attempt to contact local authorities for help,
Oh, agreed.
Just pointing out that a “legal fence,” as defined in western states’ fence laws, stands zero change of holding out bison that want to come over to your side.
An interesting side-note: Now that I’ve seen the definition of a “legal fence” in Colorado, here’s another thing: a legal fence in CO stands almost as little chance at holding out sheep.
Three strands of barbed wire have almost zero change of holding sheep on one side or the other. You’d need at least five wire, more often six, with stays in the middle of a 20-foot span to keep ‘em out. Been there, done that.
