Steven Rinella talks withTom Seaton, lead biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Wood Bison Restoration Project. 

Topics discussed: Where and when buffalo are considered wildlife and not; how to bring wild buffalo to Alaska; how much habitat is really there for wild buffalo?; is there truly a conflict between agriculture and and bison, or is it just perceived?;  the brucellosis red herring; what's wood bison?; when you end up with fewer animals alive than you introduced; how easy it is for bison to drown; the challenges to reintroduction; and more.
