RCMP have warned that bison are running free in east-central Saskatchewan.

It’s estimated that as many as 100 animals are roaming.

The animals were reportedly seen crossing highways in the area, about 30 kilometres south of Tisdale. They have also  been seen on grid roads, according to a media release from RCMP.

“The RM of Barrier Valley is asking that the public refrain from chasing or scaring the animals as this will make capturing and corralling them much more difficult,” the media release stated.

Anyone who sees the herd should call the Rural Municipality of Barrier Valley at 306-323-2101.
