2024—Bison Short Ribs—It’s What’s for Dinner

What remained of the carcass of a bull Bison, taken down several days previously by the Firehole Pack of Gray Wolves along the Firehole River in Yellowstone National Park, lay on the edge of the river where it had been dragged to the opposite shore. The Gray Wolves did not appear while we were there Wednesday, but Common Ravens and Coyotes stripped what edibles remained and the rib cage seemed to be a favorite of this Coyote. After witnessing the feast of the Coyote and Ravens, I, too, chose Bison Short Ribs for my dinner Wednesday night at Bullwinkle’s in West Yellowstone. I hope the Coyote’s ribs were as tasty as those served to me.
