I have read about this back in the old days, but strange to read about it happening in this day and age for some reason. Tough hit to the population up there

if they do not know exactly the impact on a population they should stop the hunt and see where they are. yukon can provide a lot of bisons if they need.

I was surprised when I read about the mass drownings in American Buffalo.

Bad news for those that had tags, I hope they just postpone those who drew a few years. No matter which way it works out, the chances of drawing those tags have dropped for everyone.
Buffalo have been drowning for thousands of years.
