Field Notes

Description:

American buffalo, is a North American species of bison that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds, became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle, and has made a recent resurgence largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves.

Notes:

Unclear who the landowner is, however the property is adjacent to Cumberland Gap NHP.
