15-Year Ban Ends; Teen Hunter Kills Buffalo

Bison hunting, once commonplace in the American West until the species was nearly wiped out, resumed just outside the northern boundary of Yellowstone National Park after a 15-year ban.

On a bitterly cold morning , a 17-year-old, hunting with his family, killed the first animal.

The hunt will allow up to 50 of the Plains bison, often called buffalo in North America, to be killed in the three-month season.
