Update from the field:
All remains quiet in the field for the moment. We are relishing the peace because in less than a week, Montana’s canned bison hunt will begin. Like last year, BFC will maintain a presence in Gardiner as well as West Yellowstone. We will bear witness for the buffalo and tell their story.
As you know, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) expanded the bison “hunt” for this year, issuing 140 permits to kill Yellowstone bison, as opposed to the 50 issued last year. Some tags are for the West Yellowstone area, and some are for the Gardiner area. Some are for bulls or cow/calf and some are specifically for cow or calf.
