That State would be WI, and the basic aspect of self reintroduction, would be...they walked over the state line. Twenty or so years ago, they were thought to be extinct statewide. Now estimates place the population at over 2000, some say as high as 5000 or more. They were not reintroduced here by human interaction, yet we went from virtually none to potentially thousands in a couple of decades. What would you call that...oh and if you want specifics on that, you can find them at the WI DNR website.
