A lone bison roams outside the entrance gate to Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, Mont. on Thursday, March 17, 2011.   Montana officials are pushing ahead with a plan to let Yellowstone National Park bison roam more freely within a sprawling river basin formerly off limits to the disease-carrying animals because of livestock industry concerns. The move is aimed at ending a dispute on Yellowstone bison that has resulted in almost 4,000 of the animals being hauled to slaughter since 2000. It will allow at least some of the animals to carry out their natural migration to lower elevations outside the park during harsh winters.  (AP Photo/Janie Osborne)
