BILLINGS — Bison hunting season will open near Yellowstone National Park in mid-November.

The Billings Gazette reports that southwestern Montana’s bison season opens Nov. 15. The hunt has attracted more than 10,420 applicants for a limited number of licenses. A drawing selected 69 residents and 3 non-residents for the licenses.

As many as 200 second-choice applicants could get a chance to participate if enough bison migrate into the state from Yellowstone.

Bison season ends Feb. 15, 2016.
