Bison reach new home on Montana Indian reservation

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- A group of wild bison relocated from Yellowstone National Park
has arrived at northeastern Montana's Fort Peck Indian Reservation.

Fort Peck Fish and Game Director Robert Magnan said two tractor trailers carrying
almost 100 bison were being unloaded on the reservation Thursday.

A third shipment of several dozen more animals was due Friday.

The bison initially will be kept in a 140-acre pen, before moving to a 13,000-acre pasture
later this month. They join about 48 Yellowstone bison previously obtained by Fort Peck's
Assiniboine and Sioux tribes.

They were there in the late 70's when I worked at the sister lab Argonne National Lab (both west of Chicago).

Here they are, with the ultra cool Fermilab headquarters building in the background.


And here's another image when the Tevatron went online for the first time.

Unfortunately, the US no longer funds high energy physics. The SSC was killed by George HW, and the Tevatron was killed in 2011. Who was responsible for that?

BTW, Bison are very cool.
