    I would hunt a wolly mammoth. Would be pretty sweet.

    With today’s technology, it’d be borderline pointless. There’s not a ton of “sport” in shooting something the size of an automobile that weights 10,000# and sticks out like a sore thumb in today’s terrain with today’s rifles.

    If you want to target one with a bow, now that’d be epic and an experience you could sell for huge money.

    It would for sure be with a bow.

    Any real sportsman would use a spear and rocks.

    We can bring back extinct species from over 10,000 years ago, but we cannot find a cure for most cancers that is viable.
    I’m not really a conspiracy theorist whatsoever, but it does make you wonder if certain answers and cures are a matter of not having the capabilities ….or whether those 1%ers and corporations in power care to find the answers and cures.

    Im not sure we really wanna know this answer.

    Researchers are working on bringing back the extinct Helicoprion. It sounds like there may be plans to stock early genitically modified individuals in Mille Lacs. With it’s unique teeth it will be able to saw right through the Native nets, thus benefiting the fishery as a whole.

    lmao good one bucky

    I almost started a new thread about this yesterday and titled it “playing god.” But then I remembered a 13 page wolf thread earlier this winter.

    I find it quite fascinating even though there may be some questionable ethics issues here. This company has plans to revive the extinct dodo bird, tasmanian tiger, and as already mentioned…the wooly mammoth.

    I’m also out if velociraptors get cut loose…I’ve seen all the Jurassic movies. rotflol

    Fun fact, velociraptors were about 2′ tall and 30-40 lbs – about like a bobcat but on 2 feet

    Still not something I’d want to FAFO with but definitely not the man-hunting monsters of Jurassic Park

    How dare you attempt to crush my eternal fear of these monsters with facts. Turns out the kid was right. Just overgrown turkeys.

    Crichton intentionally based them on Deinonychus but called them velociraptors because he thought it sounded better. Probably right, I couldn’t even remember how to spell it without looking it up lol
