Ep 186 Chad Kremer: He Still Has a Home Where the Buffalo Roam
Listen now
Description
There were many exciting things at this year’s National Western Stock Show, but one of the highlights was the group meeting up on the side pens of the Event Center.  The Bison people were there in force, and the critters they came with stole the show, even if it was 25 degrees and snowing.  Especially since it was that cold, because in the frigid air the already impressive and feisty beasts were breathing out steam from their nostrils like something out of The Hobbit.   Today, we’re sharing a conversation we had with Chad Kremer, President of the National Bison Association, Herd Manager for Custer State Park in South Dakota, long-time bison ranch owner, and title holder of the National Western’s Most Interesting Mustache.  He was also a super nice guy, and a true representative of All Things Good about South Dakota.  After speaking with him, it looks like another roundup might be in our filming future -- Buffalo style, so it looks like we’re going back. Done with capitals yet?  Wild, Wooly, and Untamed.  With that, we’ll put our foot down (but gently) (And as a side note – how many people can legitimately say they’re president of the NBA?  How cool is that?)  Links: www.kremerbuffalo.com https://kremerbuffalo.com/blog/ https://www.nps.gov/articles/15-facts-about-bison.htm https://gfp.sd.gov/parks/detail/custer-state-park/ https://gfp.sd.gov/buffalo-roundup/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_bison https://www.fws.gov/about/region/mountain-prairie https://bisoncentral.com/ https://www.nps.gov/articles/15-facts-about-bison.htm https://www.nwf.org/Educational-Resources/Wildlife-Guide/Mammals/American-Bison https://www.rei.com/blog/camp/yes-there-are-still-bison-in-america-heres-where-to-see-them   Support the show
