Numerous different sources might have different answers. Even the MN DNR site has a two conflicting numbers for species.http://www.dnr.mn.gov/young_naturali...g/answers.html The 158 number came up numerous times, unfortunately it is wrong. __________________ "Tatanka....buffalo" ANA Member R-1215658 Shawn   07-22-2006, 12:46 AM   #9 (permalink) cherrypicker Senior Member     Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Illinois Posts: 257 (yeah tsk...i got the same answer) I had a TON of fun doing this BuffaloHunter...and it was worth it to me!! Congrats to Max on the nice prize! Bill p.s BuffaloHunter? I've been meaning to ask you this- your name 'BufflaoHunter': Is your favorite animal the buffalo and you just love it so much-or is your favorite coin the buffalo nickel?

Thanks a lot for the congratulations! I must say I spent some time searching for the answers! They were not all easy! Thanks to BuffaloHunter for giving me the opportunity to participate and finally win that contest, I'm very pleased and happy at this very moment! Nice work to all those you had nearly all answers good! I've learned a lot while searching for the answers for this contest, now I told my dad (who likes fishing pretty much) that he should consider moving to Minnesota at the time of his retreat! Thanks again!

Does a member put up the prizes? Or does the board have a fund for that sort of thing? I think it's cool that you guys give out nice prizes like that.   07-23-2006, 11:19 PM   #15 (permalink) Dockwalliper Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: Tonawanda, New York Posts: 984 Members put up the prizes for there own contests.
