American Prairie Reserve grows to more than 700 square miles

"BILLINGS, Mont. — A privately-owned nature reserve that’s trying to build a Connecticut-sized park where bison and other wildlife can freely roam on the U.S. Northern Plains says it is purchasing a 50-square mile ranch that abuts the Charles M. Russel National Wildlife Refuge.

The deal for the 73 Ranch in Central Montana along the Musselshell River expands the size of the American Prairie Reserve to more than 700 square miles. The purchase price was not disclosed, The Billings Gazette reported."

"
The reserve has more than 800 bison roughly 1,000 bison and has said it plans to increase its herds to more than 10,000 animals by late next decade.

A decision from federal officials is pending on the reserve’s proposal to alter grazing leases for its bison on property it leases north of the Missouri River. The proposal has been strongly opposed by many property owners in the area and Republicans including Gov. Greg Gianforte."

For the record, if I was the CEO of American Prairie I'd tell that wildlife communist to kiss my conservationist behind. I wouldn't care what he'd say.
