Grand Canyon News Release For Immediate Release Sept. 19, 2019 Contact: Lily Daniels, 928-638-7958 Thirty-one Bison from the North Rim are Relocated v Grand Canyon, AZ- National Park Service staff closed the doors on livestock trailers yesterday, securing 31 bison inside to transfer them to the InterTribal Buffalo Council who will take them on the journey to join their new herd with the Quapaw tribe in Oklahoma. The transfer of the bison concluded the Grand Canyon National Park's pilot program for corralling and relocating bison from the North Rim. "It's an historic moment. These are the first bison ever captured and permanently removed from Grand Canyon," said Grand Canyon National Park Bison Project Manager Miranda Terwilliger. Leading up to the corralling operations, a corral was regularly supplied with food and water to encourage bison to enter freely and increase their exposure to humans. "It's a passive process. You want to work as quietly and calmly around the bison to keep their stress levels down because they have very little interactions with humans," said Chris Clark, the South Rim lead mule packer who served as the corral boss." After a large group of bison entered the corral, during the operation period, staff closed the corral gates and began processing them in preparation for shipment. The processing included separating and releasing bison that were too young or too large or old to make the trip. They were guided into a squeeze chute, where the scientists took blood and genetic samples and tagged them per U.S. Department of Agriculture shipping regulations. "We had an amazing team who worked really well together," said Terwilliger. "We did a lot of mock runs and training in advance with other parks and agencies." Biologists from the Kaibab National Forest, Yellowstone National Park, Badlands National Park, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the InterTribal Buffalo Council assisted. Also present was a National Park Service veterinarian to oversee the well-being of the bison. Several additional animals were outfitted with tracking collars and released during the corralling process. The collaring was conducted with the assistance of U.S. Geological Survey scientists for park wildlife biologists to study the bison migratory patterns and population size. The goal of the pilot program was to capture and relocate up to 100 bison. The pilot program was conducted this year due to the bison migrating to a warmer location on the North Rim from early snowfall last year. There's approximately 600 bison on the North Rim, and Grand Canyon National Park is reducing the size to under 200 over the next three to five years to protect park resources from the impacts of the bison population. -NPS-

My boss has been doing bone broth for a couple yrs. I almost tried it once. Lol Costco used to sell organic bone broth in half gallons, havent seem it lately though.

Dont accept the first offer, they always come back with a 2nd offer they magically find.

Sounds like there was one there but it was smashed. Im sure it was another hunter that did it.

Millers is parked in Forrest Lakes but not sure how late in the year they stay there.

Do the exact same. Just had to call last week to get a refund cause they charged me full price. Now just have to call Directv to cancel also.

Ask the Phillies how spending money worked out for them. This team wasnt built to win this year and they stayed competitive almost the entire year.

What a stud, Congrats man

Cant even get a drink of water. 😂

I would have whacked him

I would say your totally wrong! This team nobody expected to be .500 after losing their top 3 players. Trading greinke away, they got better. Torrey is a good mgr and there is a reason they extended Hazen, Red Sox wanted him pretty bad.

Where were you at? Wasnt cold enough to see anything’s breath where I was. Lol

Congrats! Hopefully you can get a pic posted.

I was in 4a over the weekend, Thurs and Fri not a single bugle. Sat and Sun only bugles were while we were getting ready for the day at 330am. Hopefully picks up for next weekend and rest of hunt with the cooler temps and full moon moving on.

Its been rough in there this opening weekend. Hopefully it gets better with the temps dropping and that bright moon going away.

Congrats to your son on getting it done again.

I looked for the regs the other day but coukdnt find them, received the email today they were out.

Thanks for taking us along Fred! Congrats on the success. Man its amazing how fast things change in the field.
