I think Ted Turner bought a large ranch in WY or MT to raise a large herd of bison. Might have been 10-12 years ago.
I’m gonna be moving to Montana soon.
Gonna be a big dental floss tycoon.

MMmmmm.... Beefalo

He owns more of this kind of property than anyone. His company brings in hunters, who pay to hunt the big shaggies. From what I have read it’s all fair chase hunting. Though fair chase of Buffalo is by no means the same as fair chase with deer or elk. They kind of just keep on grazing. Not a lot of stealth involved on the hunter’s part.
I have an antique trapdoor Springfield. Always wanted to try to make fill my freezer with buffalo with it.
I’ve never been a fan of wild game. This includes moose, buffalo, and deer. The closest one I came to liking was a “mooseburger” served at a 4th of July celebration on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. I suspect it was plain old hamburger.
Moms dogs live off the offal from the local buffalo farm.
sometimes we growl over some of it
Just you and your pygmy pony
Over by the dental floss bush
Movin’ to Montana soon
Yippy Aye Ohh Tay Yeah....
Now, let’s talk about my visit with Dyna Mo Humm. [snicker]
Where’s that Dynamo coming from?

The best ‘hamburger’... heck, pretty much the best food of any kind... I ever had was a buffalo burger at a little tourist trap at The Royal Gorge in Colorado.
Several years ago I drove four hundred miles out of my way in hopes of repeating that gastronomic ecstasy, only to discover it was but a pile of rubble. :-(
“I think Ted Turner bought a large ranch in WY or MT to raise a large herd of bison. Might have been 10-12 years ago.”
A bit longer ago than that - I believe it was 25 years ago.
He bought four ranches - two were the Von Trapps(sp?) of the sound of music fame - which were combined into one BIG ranch.
The sun is not quite up but it’s getting lighter and I can see his ranch across the valley right now - it’s near the mouth of the Gallatin Canyon. I’m just north of Bozeman and have a great view of the valley.
BTW - I do not eat bison, it’s too lean. Yuck.
Moose. Yum. Best sausage ever. And bison, depending on what they eat, is primo. Ones that eat a lot of sage are my favorite.
I have had Bison Burgers here in Kansas.
Yummy Yummy Yummy!
Is one of the Bison in the picture named CECIL?
