A lawyer for the couple who wants to give some of its elk herd to the Crow Tribe said on Tuesday they will appeal their case to the Montana Supreme Court.

A lower court ruled the couple couldn't transfer some of its herd to the tribe because the state didn't approve it. Even though the state can't enforce its laws in Indian Country, it wouldn't approve the transport of the animals for fear they would end up roaming the reservation and threaten other livestock.
