600 to 900 Yellowstone bison could be culled this winter through hunting and slaughter, according to bison managers.

Yellowstone National Park will undertake plans to convert part of the Stephens Creek Bison Capture Facility into a certified brucellosis quarantine area.

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

Bison managers now say upward of 1,200 to 1,300 bison need to be culled to curb growth in Yellowstone National Park’s herd.

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