And it's not over-crowded so you can go hiking in the backcountry and come across bunches of them and get a way more interesting experience when you're all alone and miles from shelter. 🙄 I'm jealous. I live in East TN right in the backyard of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is amazing and great, but I long for the western parks. Quote

I'm in the East also (NW PA) but my schedule allows me a month+ out West every summer. This year was 6 straight weeks of being camped in the Sawtooths, North Cascades and Rainier. Quote

That's basically my dream scenario. Quote

Even if you can only snag 2 weeks, a 24hr power drive each way will put you in the Rockies with all your gear and 10-12 days to hike/bike/climb/kayak to your heart's content. It is soooooo worth it! 1 Quote

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Pics in OP post taken by yours truly On 10/2/2020 at 7:10 PM, Johnny Hammersticks said: Yes, herds of 100’s of them. Well bison. Again, on my drives to and from Alaska. I think we saw the most of them in northern Alberta. Saw a few of them that were nearly the size of an adult elephant. Every time I try to embed some pics it’s telling me the file size is too large 😕 On computer, try https://resizeimage.net/ Another way in many programs is to email; photo programs working with email clients usually offer you a chance to resize. Then you just copy the pic out of the email and paste that in Third way use a snipping tool program to crop part of an image On a mobile device, differs by operating system, but programs to resize are available Quote
BillsVet Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 The herds at Yellowstone descend from the last ~200 remaining at the end of the 19th century. Hiked in Glacer NP a few weeks ago...no bison but that is an amazing place. Quote
Golden Goat Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 If water buffaloes count, I saw hundreds in India. Quote

4_kidd_4 Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 Saw one up close, medium rare on my plate last friday night. Quote
BillsFanNC Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 My kids at Custer state park about 6 years ago. My wife was not happy that I positioned them so close for the photo op. Quote
SoTier Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 There used to be a buffalo ranch in Cattaraugus County somewhere in the Salamanca/Ellicottville area years ago. Visited it several times. They had large pastures along the rolling hillsides so you could large groups. Some of the pastures came up close to the road so you could see them fairly up close. Quote
flaz Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Vacationing at Lake James in Indiana in the 60s. Pokagon state park is adjacent to the the lake and the boarder fence was just across the street from our cottage. Someone had built a set of steps on both sides of the fence for easy access. The park had a herd of 12 or so iirc. Quote
Bubba Gump Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 There is a small ranch on Smith Road in Pittsford (NY) that has a handful of Buffalo. They are huge! It's owned by the Wilmot's, who own Wilmorite which is the company that owns all the malls around Rochester. Quote
SinceThe70s Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Stayed at Zion Mountain Ranch a few years ago. They have a herd of buffalo that roam the property. Buffalo are fenced in so we were able to get up close a few times. https://www.zmr.com/ Quote
