A few years back PETA, HSUS, Friends of Animals and other anti hunting zealots got legislation introduced to ban having the above three animal species ( Addax, Scimitar's, Dama's) under high fences, raising them or hunting them in the U.S. The bill had a lot of support in both the house and senate.
Lots of work was done by the Exotic Wildlife Association, Second Ark Foundation, high fence landowners, and SCI to finally have the bill defeated.
You could not get those idiots to understand that that the raising, hunting, selling of those animals was insuring they would not go extinct.
Had the bill have past it probably would have spelled the end to those species in a few years.
Now there are programs where ranchers in Texas are sending those animals back to their native lands to help build the herds back.
But..

More power and luck to you and all you guys that bought chances!
Nice find 
They were essentially native cattle then and nothing like big game. Why would this be different now?nealan said:
I like the way you put that. "Free range-ish"
We didn't shoot them out because they were a challenge to hunt. We shot them out to starve the natives of their version of cattle.

Depends who you ask
Yep. But lots of money was made on the hides.
I agree with everything you just said. I wasn't being sarcastic

They are amazing animals but why wouldn't you support the consumption and by products from the animals from the ranchers. I understand that it's a stretch with the term hunting though. They could never survive in the wild again unfortunately except in our Parks out west. The ranches that raise them for profit do a tremendous job keeping their numbers up and the meat is great!
It is just a personal preference. I like the thought of bison being able to roam and not being used as Livestock for food and clothing. I feel like there are enough other options. If you want to hunt/eat/wear them that is fine. I just choose not to.

But you know… bad high fence ranches.
Yep 2012. They announced this and that PETA kooky fruit nut went on 60 minutes or whatever program and literally said "I would rather them go extinct than have them hunted in Texas..."
If not for private herds in Texas they would not exist period. When she said that and they were due to go on the CITES list to protect them.....was to go in effect mid April 2012 I believe.
Well since they would not be allowed to be hunted....and they are too expensive to feed.....owners had a fire sale dumping them cheap cheap and over 100,000 scimitar hit the dirt between January and April. What was $10,000 plus animals were selling for $1000 to $2000 or so.

Take lotsa ice chests and don't waste an ounce of meat. That's some really great eating.
How much is he asking and how big is the ranch? I have been thinking of going to Wyoming for one this year or next.
Don't worry! I don't win raffles lol
Depends on the day. Sometimes yes, most of the time no. Thanks for reaching out though!Cibalo said:schmellba99 said:You are missing out on good eating. Sucks to be you.Cibalo said:

Probably sucks to be you as well
At least one of those lunatics was so far off the deep end that she openly admitted she would rather see the species go extinct than to thrive but also be hunted.Gunny456 said:

Those people are certifiably insane.
I don't know, needs another year.
Boy that's the truth brother.
Yes sir. My dad called them " plum dumb". 
I remember that. Had several offers from neighbors and friends to come help get rid of them. Shoot, dart and haul off, they didn't care.

I wouldn't hunt them. I do like to eat them though.Quote:

And if given the chance, I think I could pull off wearing one.
Maybe a coat
Or some sort of headgear....
Oh yea. We had a herd of Addax. I waited it out though, thank the Man upstairs!
Well done.
I was on a bear hunt up in Canada and one of our guides had a farm with buffalo that he raised for hunting. He was pretty open about the lack of sport involved as we drove his minivan into a field. After he honked, they came running (charging) up and we got out with the buckets of feed. He said that's how the hunts go, except he cuts the one you plan to shoot, into a neighboring pasture (range).
Lots of deer come running when they hear feeders go off too. Your point?
And if it was like my archery Bear hunt in Saskatchewan, they used bait barrels to draw them in.
This.

If you love the American Bison you should probably hunt/eat/wear them. That creates demand for the animal which gives it value
I lovedogswomen too. Doesn't mean I need to hunt/eat/wearwed them.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
The smile is the absolute best!
