A bison hunt is a common field trip. Hunting is an important part of providing food and living sustainably.”This was Porter Creek’s first school-sponsored hunting trip. The excursions are usually organized by the nearby elementary school, teachers said, so older students can partner with younger ones. Students, teachers and guides bike over a frozen lake while hunting for bison. The government encourages locals to hunt bison to maintain a stable population size, and sometimes complains that hunters haven’t taken enough of the bovines in a season, according to the CBC.
