The Woodland Buffalo grows to become much larger than the Plains Buffalo here in Utah. This bull weighed in over 2,500 lbs!
It looks like the cold winter wasn't too hard on these little guys. Photo: DH

'It's the Only Thing That Lasts'
For Some Rich
Americans,
Accumulating Land Is Like
Collecting Art and
Autos
By THADDEUS HERRICK
April 25, 2007; Page B1
The Wall Street Journal
In 2001, Kentucky native Brad Kelley sold his
cigarette manufacturing company Commonwealth Brands Inc. for some $1 billion
and promptly went on a shopping spree. He didn't go to Rodeo Drive or Fifth Avenue -- he set his sights on the
range.
Mr. Kelley bought hundreds of
thousands of acres of West Texas ranchland. In
Florida, he snapped up some 60,000 acres near Sarasota, where he breeds animals such as antelope and
anoa, a miniature water buffalo native to Indonesia. Today he is the
seventh-largest landowner in the U.S., according to the debut issue
of The Land Report, a publication that bills itself as the magazine of the
American landowner.
The rich are accumulating open
spaces across the U.S.
much as they have with vacation homes, automobiles and paintings in the past.
As urban areas have grown, some well-off city dwellers have purchased spreads
in remote places, thousands of miles from the typical playgrounds of the
wealthy.
"It's like rare art,"
says Jim Taylor, president of Hall & Hall, a Billings, Mont.,
real-estate firm, that has worked with CNN founder Ted Turner, among other land
buyers.
In West
Texas, for example, Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos has
acquired several ranches in recent years totaling about 300,000 acres, making
him No. 23 on The Land Report's list of the nation's top 100 landowners (Mr.
Bezos declined comment for this story).
The push to amass acreage among
the rich is part of a broader boom in which Americans outside the agricultural
sector have been pouring money into land, pushing up prices. Farm real estate
rose 15% in 2006 from 2005 to $1,900 per acre, according to the U.S. Department
of Agriculture.
The wealth accumulated in the
last decade by aging baby boomers has left them looking for places to put their
money.
At the same time, in the
agricultural stretches of America,
the population is aging and the economy is in many cases unable to sustain
ranches and farms.
A study published in the journal
Society and Natural Resources said between 1990 and 2001 only about a quarter
of those who bought parcels of 400 acres or larger in 10 Montana
and Wyoming
counties were traditional ranchers.
More recently, real-estate
brokers say, buyers have been scouring the Great Plains
for spreads that offer hunting and fishing, wooed by brokerage outfits
spearheaded by retailers such as Orvis Co. and Cabela's Inc.
While the typical land buyer
these days is looking for a remote piece of wilderness or ranchland for outdoor
sporting activities, or simply to admire the beauty of the landscape, the top
landowners tend to be driven by more varied interests…

Sage Hen Mating Season
HENEFER - With the exception of a golden eagle looking for breakfast, few things can stop the sage grouse strut.
A group of greater sage grouse milling last week about Highway 65 at the Morgan/Summit county line like teenagers at the mall hardly flinched when two cars blazed through the middle of their courtship ritual. The ominous presence of an eagle scattered the flock of randy birds like a rock thrown in a still pond, but not for long.
"Pioneers called them fools' hens because they were everywhere and you could walk up and whack them on the head," says avid birder and Tribune bird columnist Bill Fenimore. 
To be fair, the fool label should probably only be applied during the mating season. As everybody knows, sex, or the possibility of it, has a tendency to make every species a little whacky.
Each spring, scattered sagebrush flats across the country turn into strutting grounds for members of the grouse family. In Utah, that includes greater sage grouse, Gunnison sage grouse and sharp-tailed grouse. Two other grouse species in the state - ruffed and blue - are more discreet when it comes to mating and do not gather in large open areas like their feathered friends.
The traditional mating grounds are known as leks and the majority of them are found in northern Utah. Dean Mitchell, upland game coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources officials says there are 320 historic leks across the state, but that only 202 were active in 2006...

Utah hunter sets new record
Lloyd Jacobsen wasn't sure how the elk would score. What he did know was it was big. The antlers were as tall as a man.

Lloyd Jacobsen of Lehi holds up the rack of the trophy elk he shot in September in Utah.
When all the numbers were added, Jacobsen's elk would because the largest ever taken in Utah and the 19th largest in North America.
Jacobsen was no stranger to this elk. He'd seen it weeks earlier. Weeks before the hunt, when he was scouting the Pahvant limited entry unit East of Fillmore, he spotted the elk and watched it move about for a couple of minutes. Even then he had no idea of its record size.
But, as he stood next to the downed elk, next to the antlers, he said, "It took my breath away."
The list of world records extends back to 1830. Prior to 1981, Utah did not have a single entry in the typical or nontypical Boone and Crockett records for American elk. Now it has more than 80 listed.
Jacobson's elk scored 408 4/8 points. The world record, taken in 1968, scored 442 5/8 points. The second largest elk was taken in 1899 and the third in 1890. Measurements taken include the width of the spread at various locations, length of the main beams and the length of those points in what are recognized at "typical" locations. Any variance puts the elk in the nontypical category.
Jacobsen had been applying for the limited-entry hunt for 20 years. When it came in 2005, he said he realized this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. One shot; one elk and no second chances.
His plan was to scout the area, which he did three times, then spend as much time as he could on the hunt. Several friends joined him on the hunt. His hunt ended on the opening day.
"We went there to find a good animal. I did see one elk I would have shot, but it was in an area I couldn't get to. We were a couple of miles in, hiking in really rugged country. We'd heard some elk bugle, so we decided to start walking back," he recalled.
"A buddy was taking video and walked up on the elk. He left a marker, his shirt, and came to find us. We went back, found the shirt and saw the elk. It had walked off a couple of hundred yards."
The elk was in a grove of trees, about 260 yards away, standing in a position that did not give Jacobsen a shot.
"I sat and watched the elk for about 30 minutes. There was a narrow gap in the trees. I tried to move left and right but still couldn't get a shot. It stood there, racking the trees for a good 30 minutes. Finally, it turned and I got a shot. It only went about 20 yards."
Record rules are that the antlers must dry for 60 days before they can be measured.
When they were measured, Jacobsen had his record.
He had the elk mounted and planned to put it in his trophy room in the basement, but it was too big and wouldn't fit. So, it sits in his living room, on the floor, with the tips of its antlers reaching up only 15 inches from the ceiling.
When word got out about his trophy, Jacobsen had a steady stream of people calling and stopping by.
It was, he said, "quite an event ... and still is."
