We start this week with more animal news. Our favorite kind of news. If it chirps, roars or bleats, it leads here at the Scouting Report.

The South Dakota Game Fish & Parks announced that September’s Custer State Park Buffalo Roundup set a record for attendance. And why not? The American buffalo – or bison – was the food and material for shelter that once sustained Native American and European settler populations for centuries. They offer us the tastiest of lean protein meats – as well as very comfortable fireside rugs.

The 59th Governor’s Buffalo Roundup saw 24,178 visitors. That record eclipsed the previous high mark that was set a mere year ago, with 22,690 visitors.

“The weather may have been warm, but the event was deemed a success across the board,” said Lydia Austin, Custer State Park Visitor Services Supervisor. “We had a large variety of news coverage from international and local outlets, and once again, SDPB hosted the event online.”
