The best example I can give was that the horse Butte peninsula, north of west Yellowstone is this peninsula that goes out into Hebgen lake.

And on the east side is bordered by Yellowstone park.

25 years ago, there was a public grazing lease and a private cattle ranch on horse Butte.

The, the federal grazing leases have been permanently retired and that private ranch was bought and the cattle are gone.

But so you have this peninsula.

that never has a cow on it ever.

And we were still using taxpayer dollars to haze bison back into the park to protect cattle that literally don't exist.

And everyone agreed.

We're like, this is crazy.

And so it was stuff like that that we were able to agree on, present to the partners, and they expanded the tolerance.

And that was really satisfying work.

And I would say, but now I feel like

you know, I feel like we accomplished all the low hanging fruit and now it's just, it's tough.

It's a tough issue.

It's a, it's a complicated issue with unfortunately no, no clear end in sight.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

For sure.

Yeah.
