RE: Where The Buffalo Roam

in #homesteading7 years ago

That is very interesting Rebecca. When I grew up as a kid in Southern Ohio.
Even though I roamed the woods for miles and had seen many different small game animals. I never saw one whitetail deer in all those years.
Now of course. They are nearly as common as cows in the country I grew up in.
Imagine what I would have thought if had seen a buffalo back then?
Since I have been known as one that talks a lot. That would have put my mouth in overdrive. Ha ha
Great post Rebecca. And thank you so much for the greetings for all of us.
Surely everyone will send your greetings and blessing back to you.
Thank you.

Isn't that incredible! Not one whitetail and now (as you say) they are a dime a dozen, it seems.
One of my neighbours (who lives less than 5 miles from me) had a 21 point, deer taken on his land. I saw the picture and that Buck was massive. I'd guess, easily 600 lbs and in full rut, I might add.
Now that's some power.
These animals are not taken for sport. They feed people.
I don't know if deer and buffalo can mate. I guess we will find out in the Spring. LOL!

Let's get our friend the buffalo through winter first. I didn't know you had wolves in the area.
(Hey Francis. It is Canada here.)
OK. Enough said.
If there are other buffalo in the area or nearby. That is likely where it will make it's home.

Well, you would think that would be the case. It seems like this buffalo has chosen not to go home to the buffalo herd and is preferring to live in freedom (I might add) with the deer. Who knew that they would be hard to catch? LOL! I just think that's funny. They're such a massive animal.
