A winter bison hunt outside the Yellowstone National Park boundaries in a confined area, Beattie Gulch, is unnecessarily risky and puts residents in that area in danger, according to a new lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Three Park County, Montana men plead guilty to poaching bison outside of Yellowstone National Park earlier this year.

Hunters have killed far fewer Yellowstone bison north and west of the park than they did at this time last year.

With the summer season arriving, bison managers under the Interagency Bison Management Plan are still stuck in a kind of stalemate.

Annual bison operations have started in the Stephens Creek area, according to a Yellowstone press release.

The U.S. Forest Service has established two temporary “no shooting” areas near Gardiner to improve safety during the annual bison hunt.

Wednesday, wildlife managers said the Stephens Creek Bison Trap will need to open sooner next year, in order to capture more bison.

Three bison wounded at the Yellowstone-Montana boundary have wandered back into the Park.
