Bison Hunt Outside Yellowstone to Resume
- Share via
The hunting of bison that wander from Yellowstone National Park in search of winter forage will resume next month, more than a decade after the practice was canceled amid a barrage of protests from around the country.
The Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission approved a limited hunting season for the animals. The 4-1 vote in Helena authorized 10 bison hunting licenses to be issued between Jan. 15 and Feb. 15.
Stephany Seay, a member of a group that opposes the hunt, said that the Yellowstone bison were so acclimated to people that they did not offer a “fair-chase hunt.”
