I know Randy Newberg is or was a member on here and I have posted on his forum before but I believe he has advocated for the reintroduction of the buffalo to areas that would seriously fugk up ranching and push ranchers off public land.

The big mistake with hunters is they see public land as their's to hunt. They don't realize that strong arming ranchers and other demographics off public land is only step one.

If I'm wrong about Newberg feel free to unload. Gently...





As long as privately owned bison are livestock this won't happen. Given make the make up of the Montana Legislature (as it is and always will be) and the strength of Montana Stock growers and Dept of Livestock, changing the classification of bison from livestock to wildlife won't ever happen.


I am not nearly as confident. When you have people pushing for bison to be reintroduced as wildlife and some of the tribes throwing in as well, and then throw in east and west coast money, I can see it happening and it will be a huge mistake for those of us in this state.
