They are planning on letting each shooter keep one bison.   The verbiage in the FAQs looks more like legalese to me.....

I would hope so after somehow proving your a skilled sniper.

Good question, if you are not allowed to keep the bison I don’t know how many takers they will get. Even if you do get to keep it, you have to shoot whichever one the park guy points to. Could be a yearly.

All you’ve gotta do is fence the water, you don’t even need to drain it. Buffalo won’t jump a fence but all the other critters will. A few hundred T-posts, several thousand feet of barbed wire and some volunteers will fix the problem in about a week and you don’t have to slaughter all the dang bison. G&F doesn’t want solutions though. 

No they won't jump it they'll just walk right thru it..  Everyone wants to do this..

People build fences to keep elephants contained. Don’t think it’d be that hard to keep a bison out. There are 10,000 wild horses wrecking habitat across the state that the feds will do nothing about but they’ll slaughter the few hundred bison (native species) inside the park? Nice move feds. What a joke.

Snipers only for that 100 yard shoot, or creedmoor owners only.

I think the CM is a bit much you will need to step down a couple of calibers. In the link below scroll down to the declassified photos.

The only thing worse than the 6.5 cm is the people calling it a caliber and not a cartridge.

That’s like calling a flattie a baseball cap.

I'll take a yearly.

Im down. 

That is, if we get to keep it.

Ya’ll are crazy if you think the chosen "sharpshooters" will be anything more than Russ Jacoby’s chosen group.

It's not AZGFD party it is the National Park Service. AZGFD doesn't have any say in how the Park decides to manage buffalo or any other creature within park boundaries.

I wondered how long it would take to rip Russ Jacoby.  Less than an hour.  What does he have to do with this?

1. Is the 3/5 in 4" open sights offhand or from a scoped rifle on the bench?

2.Yes they will bust through fences.

3. They are non-native.

4. I'll go just to shoot one. I have a 45-70 Marlin and a 375 H&H old Model 70 that have just punched paper. I'm down like Charlie Brown.

How do you figure they are non-native? How are there so many bison farms and enclosures in the world if they can’t be contained? Rocky Mountain elk are not native to AZ. Should they be mowed down?

They're hybrids. Technically they're beeffalo. They have domestic cattle blood in them. 

The National Park Service isn't going to EVER allow "Bison fences" to be built in the park. Not ever.
