Since this was six years ago I did a search to see how they are doing, and they are doing great! They are in great physical condition and heard is growing. I know that has to be in great part to the prep work and research that was done.

[@rh5563]

Thank you for the update.

[@kevdimo6459]

I was going to do the same thing, but thanks to you for sharing your research that makes me very happy. I’m in Australia and have a great love for the native wildlife of all countries. We have a lot to learn here at home. 👍🏻

[@malcolmphillips8610]

Yes. I've heard the herd is growing!

[@MeganKeith-lh2ec]

[@holgermessner851]

I drove for 2 years from Edmonton, Alberta to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory regularly, twice a week. North of Fort Nelson, there is a free rooming Bison heard. Coming originally from Germany, this was for me “eye candy” watching them. Not so nice in the wintertime, when the animals were sleeping on top of the highway and we drove with 65mph. Passing Fort Nelson, I always had my foot close to the brake pedal. It was helpful when other truckers gave you a position of the heard via two-way radio. I did even witnessed the birth of some little ones right beside the highway. It was always special and has a special place in my heart!

[@julian.kollataj]

Favorite moment was when the bison started running together (towards some form of freedom) behind the snow mobile! 😍 Happy for them! These beautiful creatures deserve a chance to play their role in balancing the ecosystem and well done to those who participated in making this relocation possible, and the camera team to be able to capture this work! :)

The herd now stands at 105 after 26 calves survived the 2021-2022 winter. The first couple of winters was rough on them but the herd is learning to survive in the wild. And 40 more wood bison heifers to be introduced to the herd this summer.

[@pikehunter23750]

I was camping in a primitive campsite in the bottom of the Badlands in SD. A buffalo herd came through and one decided to scratch his back against my tent poles. What a wake up call! I opened up the tent door to a wall of hair. The entire herd was walking in between everyone's tent. It was quite an experience. They were all so photogenic too! Not a single one of them were aggressive, but calm and just grazed as they passed by.

[@lilaclizard4504]

​@Medusa Charter they're not mutually exclusive! On the contrary, often it's easier to interest people in animal welfare & then once they've supported that, they start to think about how they should care about the human "animals" too, or rather even more & often then feel obligated to help the humans to balance the help they've given the animals. It's all about humanity & compassion, by denying care to animals, it makes it easier to take the next step & deny it to humans. By engaging with animals, it makes it easier to take the next step & engage with humans that need help too

I once turned a bend on a woodland trail in Canada's "Wood Buffalo National Park", and an obscured wild buffalo gave a surprised grunt and looked at me. Our faces were so close, that all I could see in my field of vision were its eyes and nostrils. I instantly locked my eyes on my boots, stayed motionless, and softly mumbled the lyrics of songs I knew hoping I would bore it. After about two minutes, it went away, and the sun fell on my boots again.

Stephen Rigby If it weren't for hunters and fishermen, there wouldn't be ANY deer, elk, bears, wolves, or anything else in the wild. It's those same hunters and fishermen that you hate, that fund the conservation departments in each state, which not only allows them to hunt and fish legally, but provides enough money to do projects like the one in this video. That money also buys up hundreds of thousands of acres of land every year, to provide habitat, breeding, and preservation of species that would have LONG gone away for good, if not for those that hunt and fish legally. The people that love to go out birding, hiking in the woods, and other nature related activities, get to do so, because of those hunters and fishermen (conservatives) you detest. It's you uneducated liberals that just don't understand how things work, that's the problem. Do YOU help fund the reintroduction of species to your state? No. But you benefit from it, and most states don't use tax money for their conservation programs. So when you see wild animals, thank a conservative. They conserve things, not just consume them.

Muchas gracias por si gran trabajo, Dios los bendiga. Sería maravilloso que así se respetara la vida de todos estos seres maravillosos como son los animalitos, que ya no haya cazadores que dejaran de comer carne, que los dejen ser libres y felices, porque todo ser vivo merece una vida digna.

[@lovelyindid8460]

thank you for your loving heart

Beautiful. Humans should be proud. We learned from history.

[@charlietango9373]

I don't think humans learned hardly anything from history. But it is nice to see the animals relocated. Course I don't know the situation they were in or where they came from.

This magnificent video made me cry with joy, my immense respect to the individuals that made this happen

[@vickieblissett3850]

Wow, is really all I can say other than thanks to everyone involved! I bet it was exhilarating for the person driving the sled leading the bison herd to their destination, what an experience. Who would dream of doing such a thing? You couldn't really call it a once in a lifetime experience, maybe a once in a million year opportunity.

[@christineosborne9789]

Hello this is fantastic and thank you.

[@nirmalan5590]

Impressive, out of the box, what an avial! These four legged beasts are all already one, how long is it going to take for us to be one?

[@nickkearney6282]

I can’t stop watching this. My father was a veterinarian and loved his Buffalo herd. Had them from the 80s to about 2004. Blind Corrals and chutes made of highway guard rails.

good job team .....great to see all the hard work will be rewarded generations of herds to be grazing the wilderness

WOLVES SALIVATING

[@morganbeasley]

Bison are not an easy target for wolves, only a very injured one that the herd left behind would be at risk. A healthy bison is a very risky target for wolves.

[@jppowers5619]

Outstanding! Video is award candidate and volunteers are champions. Thanks JP Boston

[@debracadman4212]

Omg The Bison following the guy on the sled was amazing l could watch him calling rhem all day and then the photography of the Bison running after him was so beautiful.

[@dennisstoppa949]

Great work ! I'm Gray Wolf of the Acoma.I had the wonderful experience to see the Yellstone buffalo. It left me wanting to live among them. Also made me sad to think the white people of the 19th & 20th century's could be so genocidal towards both Indian nation and the buffalo!!!!

[@gregjohnson6398]

These are Wood Bison and they went extinct in Alaska long before any white arrived. Now guess who poached 3 so far? It wasn’t the white man!
