Custer State Park Buffalo

Custer State Park is "home" for all the buffalo seen in the recent MGM cinemascope picture "The Last Hunt." * This herd is largest in the United States. Because of the large area of Custer State Park — approximately 125 square miles — and because of the buffalo's natural desire for privacy — they often seek out the more remote places in the area.
