Been to Yellowstone a bunch of times. Seeing Bison is cool. It will add an additional need for tourist awareness... We almost got caught away from our vehicle while making lunch when a bunch of rutting males came charging in. It was fast, big, awesome and terrifying all at once. Kraft dinner burned in our pot.
Some will leave...maybe all. Never know. If they leave and they migrated to populated areas they would be a nusaine animal. I would think a hunting season would be an added benefit for sportsman as the population grows and animals leave the park.
Grizzlies will have a new form of protein so they would be happy.
So what about TB. Biggest problem in the past has been transmission of TB in infected animals. Hopefully another Wood Buffalo problem does not occur.
