[QUOTE="Truth is the buffalo were used as tax deduction on land before houses were built" That is the story I've been told and it sounds reasonable. The old 'best use of land' scenario.[/QUOTE]

Sorry, this bit of developer-bashing just doesn't wash. Cows work just as well as buffalo to get the Agricultural classification for tax benefits prior to the planned development -- and all of the undeveloped lands have cows to accomplish this. Look around south of 466A.

The buffalo are still here, just kept in an area that has no public access whatsoever. Use Google Earth and fly around to see them.
