HYTHE, Alta. – RCMP say all but three of the bison on the lam near a village in northwestern Alberta have been rounded up.
The owner of the herd had been parked Tuesday evening at a service station in Hythe when the side door of the trailer was worked loose by the livestock.
All 15 bison escaped and were roaming around the area.
