He had Game and Parks come look at (in disbelief) and they took a tissue sample for DNA testing. The good news is IT'S DEAD. The great news is He gets to keep it. OH, He caught it in a #3 Bridger.

I caught my fist one this year, nice male and had to release it due to our current laws. It sure would have looked nice on my wall.

They were native to Nebraska, and we had them all the way up until the early 1900s. As long as they were managed, what harm would it cause to reintroduce a native species?

Nebraska farmers and ranchers raise "cattle" and "calves". Wolves eat them. Coyotes are bad enough. Life ain't supposed to be easy.
