Our field season, and the excessively long, drawn-out state and tribal hunting seasons, have officially begun. Here at BFC we are running full patrols in the Hebgen Basin, west of Yellowstone’s border. For the time being, things are thankfully quiet in the Gardiner Basin, north of the Park. November started out quiet, but didn’t stay that way. Only a small handful of reports were coming in about buffalo starting to migrate out of the park. Our daily recons proved to be quiet as those few who did make it from the park kept themselves well hidden. That is until one Thursday afternoon, when a family group from the imperiled Central herd, numbering 32, made an appearance on US Highway 191, near West Yellowstone. Our patrol stayed with them until well after dark, until they cleared off the highway and bedded down for the night. By the following day, more buffalo from the Central herd had arrived, and 32 bison became more than 100. Unfortunately, they migrated to the south side of the Madison River, onto Gallatin National Forest land where they are vulnerable to hunting. Hunters wasted no time, ignoring the information that the Central herd is in dire straights and that bison biologists have recommended that hunting should not take place west of the Park, in the Hebgen Basin. Under treaty right, these hunters killed two bulls and two moms, even though this particular Tribe’s regulations state they are to take bulls only. While tragic, buffalo are strong survivors, highly intelligent, and always full of surprises. Under the cover of night, facing into the shelter of a snow storm, they left that hunt zone.
