Default Reducing the buffalo in Yellowstone

I just read in this mornings paper that the Dept of Interior is planning on reducing the American Bison herd in yellow stone by 600 to 900 animals. They are deciding if they want to do it by hunting or by roundup and then taking the animals to slaughter. The reason for herd reduction is to prevent the buffalo from migrating out of the park. I remember several years back reading about ranchers complaining about the buffalo coming out of the park and grazing with their cattle and giving the cattle diseases, I suppose that is the reason behind it. It would probably be a good idea to contact your congressmen and senators and tell them the reduction should be a cull hunt by sportsmen. It would be a pretty great opportunity to hunt buffalo in Yellowstone.
