Wanting to hunt bison?

Interesting that there is a Bison surplus. I know there are similar issues in Waterford, PA (just south of Erie, PA)

There's too many of something, but it's not bison.

Of all the crap you’ve posted over the years - this one I wish I could give 10 thumbs up. Humanity as a whole is a scourge. Only in our little bubble can the truly awful not only survive, but flourish.

Not all true. Humans are very adaptable and alter the environment to increase its carrying capacity. At some point, humans will over populate and no longer be able to do so. At that point nature will step in and reduce the population......disease, famine, wears by desperate peoples. Of course we could beat Mother Nature the to the punch and kill ourselves with nukes, EMP attacks, cyber warfare.

Ever been to Chemical Alley or North Jersey?

I've seen the disgusting videos of he and his wife "hunting" the now protected endangered species they killed. I have no problem whatsoever with the vast majority of hunters, but I do have a big problem with people who do no work, have a rare and intelligent animal driven to them, and then pose like they are some kind of hero over the dead (or in this case, dying) animal. BIG difference!

I didn't see the specific video you are talking about. But as a hunter I would find it disgusting seeing someone act like that over a wounded animal.

I've watched a couple shows and read a few articles about these hunts. Many of those endangered species hunts are very controlled and typically an older animal beyond mating age is selected. They'll often try to separate the animal from the herd to pose no risk of accidentally shooting or otherwise harming the others (stampede, etc). The permits are damn expensive and most of the money is supposed to be used for habitat and herd management. Again, I got no first hand experience, just what I've read or seen on TV. So it might be were getting fed a line of BS on this.

It is obvious that humans are thriving and the population growing. Despite the toxic byproducts produced the planet has yet to reach carrying capacity of humans. Malthus predicted we would hit that point half a century ago. Others predicted it at other times.
Yet humans continue to grow in number and spread. We have exhibited an amazing capacity to adapt to whatever nature or our own destructive behaviors have thrown our way.

At some point it will,happen. But with human adaptability, plus a natural slowdown in population growth, that is likely far off.

Yup. As a matter of fact, former PSU'er Brian Milne was Bison for Fort LeBoeuf HS in Waterford, PA

Let’s get the context right. Shooting a bison is about as exciting and difficult as shooting an old freakin sofa in your backyard.

Yes, that has now been inferred to me in several posts. I get the point (lol).
