FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 2003 A herd of bison recently set loose by its own continues to evade roundup on the Umatilla Reservation in Oregon. The 70-member herd, down to 32 due to illegal hunting, wandered onto tribal land. According to the Associated Press, the animals were damaging crops, tearing through fences and scaring residents. Tribal wildlife officials, after consulting other tribes with bison experience on how to capture the animals, are finding the task difficult. An attempt will be made next week to trap the bison in an elk trap. Get the Story:
