Rob & Dean,
This thread reminds me of a recent report I saw regarding the reintroduction of elk in northern Arkansas. Sounded like a pretty good idea to begin with. In cooperation with the game department in Colorado, elk were pulled off the Divide and trucked down to the Buffalo River area. They seem to be doing pretty well� I believe this was started in the late '80s. The kicker though is that by way of repayment, Arkansas transported a heapin� helpin� of their largemouth bass up to Colorado. I suspect these went into the various impoundments built around the state. I had no idea that the basses were originally non-native there. I wonder if habitat invasion harming local species has taken place as a result?
