i swear that was bush riding on one of those snowmobiles! (sarcasm)
idk though, when i was at yellowstone, and somewhere in MT (cant remember) there were TONS of buffalo. (and i know this really doesnt mean shit, but from a first hand perspective there were tons)
hell, this stuff goes on all the time. the park district i work at one point was highering sharp shooters to come into the parks in the dark of night and "thin out" the deer population..... then some higher ups got wind of this and put the kibosh on that plan. but they still have deer hunts every other year at my park, and last year they killed over 100 deer in 2 days. this meat was not just thrown out either, it went to feed the homeless, and private hunters aswell.
