[QUOTE="John6185, post: 4166318, member: 25679"] Once we had Buffalos who were a bother so they nearly eradicated them. Maybe we should do the same to ferrel hogs. It would make some great dog food or feed the animals in our zoos. A North Dakota railroad surveyor once stood on a high point from which he added up what he saw: “For a great distance ahead every square mile seemed to have a herd of buffalo upon it. Their number was variously estimated by members of the party, some as high as half a million. I do not think it any exaggeration to set it down at 200,000.” It sometimes would take hours for a herd to pass they were so huge and it sounded like thunder long before they were in sight and the ground shook with the beat of thousands of hoofs.
