The Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission voted 4-1 on Thursday to approve regulations for a bison hunting season this winter.
The commission authorized 50 license, of which 16 will be reserved for Montana's tribes. In years past, some tribal leaders and Indian lawmakers have spoken out against the hunt.
The Buffalo Field Campaign, an activist group, says it will continue to oppose the hunt.
