Here is a map of the Bison Range. (https://www.fws.gov/uploadedFiles/NBR%20Tearsheet%20Page%201%20and%202%20testfixed%20FINAL.pdf)
We saw most of the Bison in the area between points 2 and 3 on the map.
It took a little under two hours to drive the loop through the Bison Range.
Lots of fires in western Montana. I was surprised the sign didn't say the danger was extreme. The temperature was 100 degrees as we drove through the Bison Range.

| The Bison Range has animals other than just Bison. |
Bison in their "wallow" area where they take dust baths to keep the insects and flies off of them.
Unlike the idiots in Yellowstone National Park, we stayed in the car the entire time and waited for the bison to move off the road before continuing on.

| From area 4 on the map, looking back down on area 3 where we saw most of the bison. |
From area 6 on the map looking down an east to the Mission Mountains. Normally one has a great view of the Mission Mountains. With all the smoke ad the haze from the heat - no view today.

| On the map, near Antelope Ridge (area 7) |
