Bison cull

I thought wolves were eating everything.

I want a tag.

They should release them out of the park to kick start a wild herd outside of the park.

Having applied for that MT Bison tag many times it seems they should up the number of permits given out. But then that would probably just rile up the huggers that reside in the area.

They want to cull 1000. I say sell a 1000 tags.  That could be a huge revenue to pay for the erosion problems and grazing imporovments. At $500 a tag that could be half a million.  None of it would go to waste


As for your statement aspen bud
Wolves do eat buffalo but they just really prefer elk instead. That's why the elk heard went from 18,000+ to just over 3000. 


I think this is a no brainer let hunters pay for the cull and stop catering to the anti hunting groups and charging tax payers for the bill!

Never going to see the public shooting bison or anything for that matter in our oldest national park.  It is the most absolute in our culture.

Hunters have tremendous opportunity to hunt big game animals that migrate to national forest and wilderness areas outside Yellowstone Park boundaries. Gateway communities can offer regional hunting information.
Where can I go hunting near Yellowstone?

Hunting is prohibited within Yellowstone National Park boundaries but big game, upland birds, and various waterfowl can be hunted in season on public and national forest area land near Park boundaries. Opportunities are also available on on private land (60 million acres in Montana alone) when owners grant permission.

Popular hunting locations near Yellowstone include the Teton Wilderness in the Bridger-Teton National Forest in Northwest Wyoming (near the Southeastern corner of the park), Gallatin National Forest and the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana, and Salmon-Challis National Forest in Idaho.
