[QUOTE="DLD, post: 1148503, member: 19707"] Don't know anything about any of those other sites, but Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge already has a good sized herd of bison. Large enough in fact that an annual production sale is necessary to keep the numbers from outgrowing the range. I believe they try to keep around 650 bison, along with at least that many longhorns and quite a few elk. The refuge is around 60K acres. They try to keep it hidden from the sightseers, but I understand that they do feed them in the winter and sometimes year round when it gets too dry. The production sales are kind of a social event (they have one for the longhorns, too) - most interesting to me is the facilities for handling them... If the goal there is to import some new blood, it might not be a bad thing, but increasing numbers would be. I'm not sure about the Chickasaw National Recreation Area. I don't know of any bison there, but I'm not nearly as familiar with it. It's not quite 10K acres [/QUOTE]
