How those critters are eligible for B&C is beyond me. They’re pretty well contained to the park. Custer State park is a cool place, but I’ve always kind of thought of it more as a huge bear country than anything. I am curious if that money goes to the park or to game and fish. 6500 probably stocks a shitload of pheasants.

Edit: Bear country is a zoo like deal outside of rapid for those that don’t know.
Where’d you find this info? just curious, i’ve looked all over trying to find it.

ZBB:
I agree, I have asked how this "hunt" is different than going out to a private ranch and shooting a bison.

This herd is managed very similar to a ranch bison herd, they are rounded up annually and certain animals culled for selling. I am pretty sure they are fed in the winter like cattle.

It would be interesting to hear the justification from the Boone and Crockett Club.

It’s under that tab. This is how it looks from my iPhone. I haven’t been on the website from a computer for a while so not sure how much different the screen looks. Then if you scroll down they have the non trophy bison page to click on and it’s under the same tab there.
 
Last year results were out by 1 Sept, I wonder what the hold up is this year.
 
Can I attempt to draw a Custer non-trophy bison tag and then donate the tag to a local Wounded Warrior organization?

I have several points and would like to donate the tag so a veteran can hunt in the event I ever draw. I appreciate the people that manage and work with these programs. Best of luck, TheGrayRider.
