What's a good caliber for Bison?

If you really want to get real buy a Sharps rifle to hunt with.

NO, it is not a hunt. It is a herd reduction. No fair chase involved. You may very well be instructed to dispatch penned animals

Sounds all screwy to me. Just let the NPS do their own dirty work.

Where'd you see that?

What rifles will be approved for use?
For this bison removal project, only rifles chambered for bottlenecked cartridges with a bullet caliber of .30cal or larger, combined with a non-lead bullet of 165 grains or heavier will be approved.
