Bison
 
RJ Sangosti / The Denver Post
GRISLY SCENE: Officials inspect buffalo carcasses dotting the snowy
Colorado high country. Fourteen men who claimed they had permission to
shoot the animals were arrested, but locals scoff at the idea the men were
hunters. “They’re assassins,” said one.

"They're assassins, not hunters," Agosti said. "You go out to a field and walk up and shoot it: That's hunting?

They are not hunters! Assassins is exactly what they are.

Heard anything about this, George?

These guys sound like they just drove up in their BMW SUVs, rode out on some snow mobiles, and just fired away. Its going to be hard to convince anyone in Colorado that they earned the title of “hunter”. In most states...we’d have little to describe their hunting “skills”....other than not shooting themselves.

If I were one of these guys...I’d find a good lawyer and prepare to pay for the bison and damages. I’d be guessing a total of $200,000 will have to be paid...to make the bison owner happy. This will be an expensive “hunt”.

I’ve been to Fairplay.

Waaay back in the boonies. Not a touristy place, unless things have changed since.

Texan frustrated by what he called the repeated trespassing of the herd onto his land.

So what exactly did the bisons did while trespassing? Drank beer, cow-tipping and littered the land??? They were innocent creatures not knowing anything else. This is outrageous and these are no men as far as I am concerned.

P.S. I do love bison meat but I buy mine from WholeFoods.

“murder plot” ????

Leave it to the LA Slimes to use the term “murder” when referring to the killing of animals.

Remind me again, how often they have used the term “murder” when referring to the killing of unborn, HUMAN BABIES?

These bison are not livestock , they are wild animals and as such the keeper of the wild animals is strictly liable for damage done . IMHO however the neighbor shooting them was not reasonable in his self help method .

On March 19, the carcasses were found on the Hawn ranch, other private property and nearby federal lands. The sheriff quickly rounded up 14 hunters who were camping on Hawn’s property. They said they had been given permission to shoot the bison, but who gave them that permission is part of the investigation, Gore said.

Sounds like the work of the Texas billionaire that owns Kay Bailey Hutchinson, the one that was hunting(slaughtering) game animals in Russia from a helicopter.

Sounds like a "Carpet-Bagger" Texan acting like a "Carpet-Bagger" Californian.

I know where that is. Fairplay is one stop light dot on the way to Denver. Its more pasture than mountain country. There's no civilization for a couple hundred miles between it to Buena Vista to the south and Denver to the north.

The reintroduction of bison on the plains is valuable...they finally discovered, after decades, that the only way the rich grasses of the plains will grow is to be ‘fertilized’ by bison who are fed the seed...

This is vital for reestablishing the natural prairie grasses that, in turn, keep the top soil for being blown off - like in the “Dust Bowl” fiasco.

Yes, they can build bison tough fences - but certainly not enough to contain a herd of buffalo that roams hundreds of acres - especially if they are going to keep the grasses growing.

That being said - I wonder if a couple good sheep/cow dogs couldn't discourage the big fellas from grazing on the neighbors land? Or, the carpet bagger could always go back to the city...

He reminds me of the city ‘flatlanders’ that move to Maine, build a fancy house next to a dairy farm and then sue the farmer because “it smells” = libRAt idiots

"do not call us if a coyote eats your cat”.

I love this one! Make a great bumper sticker...

(couldn't reply to poster on this as something screwy is going on with the FR system - had to go back to one of my own posts to reconnect)

In Maine, we need to give new coming flatlanders an advice sheet that includes, "...if you buy and build next door to a dairy farm, do not call us if it stinks."

I’m a little curious as to how many times these Buffalo have torn down or crossed the fence. I’d like to hear the whole history on this.

Terrible! The guys that did this senseless slaughter and the city slicker that hired them need to be hung out to dry.
