    I just drove by the holding facility north of Yellowstone on the 89. It was empty after the transfer of the bison there to Ted Turner. Now I notice that there are 15 or 20 new(?) bison there. Are they going to refill this facility now? Does anyone know?

  2. Save Bears Says:

    If I remember right, Ted did not get all of them, those should be the remaining few that were not transferred to the Turner holdings..

    Thanks. Hope so. I haven’t been seeing any in there, but guess they could have been “hiding”.
