The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has released a statement regarding this year’s proposal to cull 1,000 bison through hunting and trapping.

Bison capture operations have begun in Yellowstone National Park.

One unfortunate side effect of winter: the inevitable debate over how to handle the Yellowstone bison cull. This winter should be no exception.

Yellowstone National Park has released its bison population estimates for 2014.

It was quite the eventful end to this year’s Yellowstone bison slaughter, with 600 bison — more than anticipated — removed from the herds and a protester arrested and released after blocking the entrance to the Stephens Creek bison trap for two hours.

Another traffic woe in Yellowstone National Park, this time out of West Yellowstone: attempts to haze bison back into the Park could affect traffic between the West Entrance and Madison Junction, so exercise caution.
