2:53 am
>> reporter: this comeback story, how improbable was it? >> it was the first effort to restore what could have been an endangered species. you can't see this kind of abundance anywhere else. >> reporter: most america's roughly half million bison are managed as domestic livestock. many have cross bred with cattle. not yellowstone's herd. >> they probably r of the only populations that truly have all of the ecological and evolutionary drivers that shape the species. this is as good as it gets. >> reporter: and this is also their calving season, which brings us to the current bison challenge and controversy. when they migrate outside the park, neighboring ranchers have killed them, worried they'll spread a disease harmful to

inside the park has grazing limits. under a federal state agreement, every year the herd has to be reduced by about 10%. several hundred get sent for processing to tribes who distribute the hides and meat. when you see these guys, make you feel good? >> it does. >> reporter: but the current approach seems to satisfy no one, including irvin carlson who also belongs to the buffalo management coalition. he says they should live free inside and outside the park or be returned to what he called "indian country." >> they belong to the land, they're part of the land. >> reporter: they're also part of yellowstone's future. >> we can get more bison on the landscape, diminish to eliminate the fear of the spread of the disease and we can honor the cultural significance of bison
