LANSING, Mich., Jan. 16 (UPI) -- A Michigan bison rancher will be reimbursed $1,000 by the state after officials said a wildlife officer mistakenly told a neighbor he could shoot the animal.
Gaven Dietzel, who raises bison for meat at his farm in the northeastern Lower Peninsula, says he still doesn't know why his neighbor shot the animal, the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday.
