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.
I enjoy hearing what veteran residents like Bike 42 have to say and I know for a fact that bike knows whereof she speaks.

It is debatable whether a herd of buffalo is a draw to an area. I know it is debatable because it certainly has been debated.....AND debated.

I am one who has never felt the inclination to find a buffalo and watch it hang out.

I have mild interest in cows.

If we all felt the same way about things; buffalo, politics, religion, ice cream, it would be SO boring.

I know that some people on here can be mistaken. I met someone only recently who was under the impression that she had sweeter grandchildren than we do.
