The most 'unusual' introduction attempt I know of was the helicoptering in
of Caribou to the top of Katahdin. In 1964 or 65 the Caribou were moved from
pens at the University of Maine to Baxter, and plunked down on the table
land. Sixty years after becoming extinct in Maine, Caribou were back! But not
for long. Later that winter a ranger took a ski-doo up to Baxter Peak looking
for tracks, but found none. What ever became of the small herd is unknown.
That part is true. The part of the story that says the folks around
Millinocket ate very well that winter is legend.
