The Cherokee Nation bison herd is behind our house here in Delaware County. Their cows get in our yard all of the time and I'm just waiting until one of the wooly headed critters show up.

"NPS would select the age "and sex of those targeted, and the number of bison allowed to be shot per team would depend on the number of skilled volunteers, each of whom would be able to keep one carcass, though not necessarily the one they shot.""

While I would love to get some bison meat, they would be very unsporting to shoot. I was on a controlled elk hunt at the WMNWR in 2006 and saw many wild bison behind the fences in the wilds of the refuge. You could literally walk up on them and get very close before they ran away. I know this because it was dark and I was walking the first morning to sit next to a 'bush' waiting for first light. I get about ten yards from it before the 'bush' ran off and it scared me to death. It was a bison.

I saw many others while hiking and walking and had many within 50 yards. My point is, it would feel like shooting a cow or horse out of a pasture. Not my style.
