Montana Drops Bison Lawsuit | Bozeman News

Montana just dropped its lawsuit against Yellowstone over bison management, a long-simmering feud about population limits, movement rights, and who calls the shots — but not before conservationists and Native tribes celebrated it as a win for the bison’s freedom to roam their historic lands. The Fort Peck Tribes, key players in disease-free bison transfers, cheered the move. While Montana had accused the park of federal overreach and ignoring state input, the real turning point? Yellowstone’s new environmental review process, which now invites public feedback on fresh management options — giving Montana’s concerns a new forum instead of court. The legal battle’s paused, but the conversation? Far from over.
