Colorado is joining the Eastern Shoshone Tribe in designating bison as wildlife. Earlier this year, the Eastern Shoshone Tribe reclassified bison from being livestock to wildlife in an effort to manage the species less like cattle and more like big game such as elk. On May 22, Colorado's governor signed the Protect Wild Bison bill, which creates a dual wildlife and livestock designation. Some conservation groups say it makes killing bison that cross into Colorado from other states illegal.

The nonprofit Property and Environment Research Center (PERC) is providing funding to help two ranches in northwest Wyoming install virtual fences. The invisible fence technology involves putting a GPS collar on cows and tracking their location via towers. Cows are alerted with a beep, or in some cases a shock, if they go beyond certain areas. Many see the tech as a way to cut down costs and labor and removing physical fences can help wildlife migrate.
