It appears that Yellowstone National Park's bison have decided to largely stay within the confines of the park this winter.
According to the Idaho Press:
BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Bison have largely stayed in Yellowstone National Park and avoided being captured by park officials or killed by hunters this winter, officials said.
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokesperson Morgan Jacobsen said most of the animals have remained within the park’s borders on the slopes above Gardiner, The Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported Saturday.
Bison migrate to lower elevations outside of the park annually in search of food, which is when they are trapped at the park’s Stephens Creek Capture Facility and killed by hunters after crossing over the park border.
