📰 News we're reading

• The beef over buffalo (montanafreepress.org) — Yellowstone plans to remove about 1,500 bison this winter through hunting, capture and relocation or slaughter, with winter conditions shaping how that happens. Tribal representatives say capturing more animals inside the park could limit traditional hunts outside its boundaries, including near West Yellowstone, where migrating herds draw hunters each winter.
