Turnin' 'em loose

The current Mark Trail storyline features a gubernatorial candidate who lives near Lost Forest, who is planning to host a big-game hunt for his cronies. The theory is that this will ensure his election. The problem is that the game animals have been imported to his farm and are, as people keep saying, "half tame". Also, he has an adorable step-daughter (who took a fawn home on absolutely no evidence that it has been abandoned (it hadn't, its poor mother watched sadly as her baby was abducted), is keeping it in the kitchen, and has named it "Lucky" - which cannot end well), and today she asks: "Will stepfather get mad if we turn them loose?"

The joker in the pack, such as it is, is this: here are the animals we've seen in the fenced enclosure:


I make that an elk, a pronghorn antelope, a bear (possibly a grizzly), and what look like Dall sheep (possibly bighorns).

What are the odds Mark Trail is going to explore the tragedy of releasing animals into the wrong ecosystem? Yeah, I thought so, but wouldn't it be cool?
