3 escaped bison rounded up near Fairbanks

Published: June 8, 2012 

FAIRBANKS -- Three bison that escaped from a North Pole farm two weeks ago are no longer on the lam.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner says the bison were rounded up Thursday. A fourth one is still on the loose.

The three made it a few miles to the grassy Chena Flood Control Project, where they were first spotted Wednesday afternoon. It was the first time anyone had seen them since they escaped from a nearby farm on May 24.

The bison were herded into a fenced compound by workers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on four-wheelers.

Owner Deb Cotton hopes the old bull will show up looking for his herd mates. Cotton is trying to figure out how to get the bison back to her farm.
