KGAINES Report post Posted June 19, 2005 http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050615/sc_af...oa_050615192045 I read this and they said there were 12 million of these birds at one time, then they say around 159,000 before human contact, but they expected that if humans wouldn't have hunted them they would have rebounded, 12,000,000 to 159,000 without human contact tells me they were on their way out no matter what.
