Rick;
Believe me, I felt a little faint :D mentioning that to you. BTW, I say that as I really, really enjoy your posts and the stuff that I have seen written about you and your adventures.
The point i think I was heading to, without hijacking the thread was that a lot of the stuff that we now hunt and fish for that matter, seems as if we humans transplanted them to where we want them.
For example, where all my kin are from, in the mountains of western NC, there were no deer written about by the earliest of my ancestors, just Elk and Woodland buffalo and something they called "small deer" or squirrels.
The only thing left of the Elk and the Buffalo are the names of creeks, rivers, mountains, etc.
I think the thing that I am most interested and probably others is the idea of fair chase. I haven't the experience that you have, but I think without a doubt, buff hunting in OZ IS fair chase.
I wonder is hunting the buff in Florida fair chase. I lived in Clewiston some 25 years ago and helped "hunt" some feral pigs with some insane cowboys with dogs, horses and ropes!! That was a fair chase. If the buff are on those big ranches that are located in South Central Fl that I remember, it may be fair chase. This may be a good bargin for some of those that currently afford a trip to OZ.
BTW, saw a program on mysterious animals and they talked about a giant monitor lizard in Australia, called it the "Lizard of OZ". No kidding. A 15 to 25 foot long Goana might be cool, but how would you bring it down?
