NaphtaliHuge game ranch in eastern Washington?
I have been informed there is a game ranch in eastern Washington on which are: bison; cape buffalo; European boar . . . you get the idea.
I searched for more information but was unsuccessful. The information on which I acted was based on memory from more than a decade ago.
???

AHA! Now you understand why I'm so interested in verifying what I have been told a few days ago, AND finding its location - if it exists.
I have a pair of ML double rifles and am having built a pair of big bore flintlocks. While I am not foolish enough to invest in an African cape buffalo hunt using my muzzleloaders, I think maybe I AM foolish enough to do so in Washington. . . . I never said I was bright, just persistent.

Idaho SharpshooterIt would be an interesting place to drive over and visit if they did. That's high desert country, and Buff need lots of water. I can just see a small herd gathered around a pivot rubbing their backs and licking a salt block!
