From CNN, "Where the buffalo roam -- and die" - April 28, 2008:
More than 700 of the iconic animals starved or otherwise died on the mountainsides during an unusually harsh winter, and more than 1,600 were shot by hunters or sent to slaughterhouses in a disease-control effort, according to National Park Service figures.
As a result, the park estimates its bison herd has dropped from 4,700 in November to about 2,300 today, prompting the government to halt the culling program early.
There's a great recipe in the article, by the way, for anyone interested in eating these wonderful (and tasty?) pieces of American history and culture.
