Thousands?
No.
A couple of hundred.
I wish I could see thousands of them stampeding, but where could you get those massive herds together again? Bison need huge acreages to live in big numbers.
Wasn’t this something Ted Turner was trying to do by buying up huge tracts of land in Montana and the Dakotas?
To bad the “Mouth of the South” is still all mouth.
Apparently Bill Gates bought a lot of those tracts. He is reportedly America's biggest rural landowner.
And still a far cry from the millions that used to cover whole states.
