Good luck fencing bison out of ANYWHERE they really want to go. It’s no wonder bison were not considered compatible with civilization in the ‘old days’ Sounds like another case of rich west coast meets Colorado rancher.
In a Feb. 25 letter addressed to Antonino Salcedo, Hawn gave permission to Salcedo and his Atzlan Native Community colleagues
There is a good sized bison farm right directly along side of I-79 in Edenboro, PA and I have never heard of them getting through that fence.
A good pipe fence will hold buffalo. I've also seen wood used.

But the big buffalo herd at The Wichita Mountains Wildlife refuge are plenty
content to roam freely within their fenced perimeter.

Same for a buffalo “ranch” south of Wichita, KS and another buffalo
ranch north of Columbia, MO.
I’d grant the fence MUST be substantial. But they can be fenced in.
And although I’d want something stouter, you apparently don’t have
to put up A Berlin Wall to keep ‘em in.

Mr. Hawn used to be with BMC in Houston. He's a Texan (of the greater Houston urban cowboy kind).
Attachmate is based in Seattle but a lot of their operations are in right to work states.
