  NEWS RELEASE Woman gored after approaching bison in Yellowstone; Always stay more than 25 yards away from bison        Black Sand Basin                      NPS / Jacob W. Frank   A 25-year-old female from Grove City, Ohio, approached a bison to within 10 feet on the morning of May 30, 2022. Two other individuals were also within 25 yards of the same bison. Park regulations require visitors to remain more than 25 yards (23 m) away from bison.   As the bison walked near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin (just north of Old Faithful), the female, on the boardwalk, approached it. Consequently, the bison gored the woman and tossed her 10 feet into the air. The woman sustained a puncture wound and other injuries. Park emergency medical providers responded to the incident immediately and transported her via ambulance to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. The incident remains under investigation, and there is no additional information to share. Wildlife in Yellowstone National Park are wil

  Interagency Bison Management Plan bison operations begin in Yellowstone National Park MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, WY - Bison operations began at the Stephens Creek administrative area in Yellowstone National Park late last week (week of Feb. 13). Bison capture and shipping operations begin when bison migrate from the interior of the park into the Gardiner (Montana) Basin and may continue through late March. Bison operations at Stephens Creek happen as part of the Interagency Bison Management Plan (IBMP), whose partners include federal, state and Tribal groups. The 2022 winter operations plan recommends removing 600 to 900 animals from Yellowstone’s population of more than 5,000 bison. The population will be reduced using three methods: 1) public and Tribal hunting outside the park; 2) capturing bison near the park boundary and then transferring them to Native American Tribes for processing and distribution of meat and hides to their members; and 3) the Bison Conservation Transfer Program th
