Escaped bison recaptured near Chicago after 8 months in wild

WAUCONDA, Ill. (AP) – A bison that escaped a suburban Chicago farm last September and had been living in the wild since has been recaptured. The 1,300-pound bison ran off while being delivered to the Milk and Honey Farmstead in Wauconda. Officials say they believe she settled in Lakewood Forest Preserve in early April. Forest preserve officials brought in Loose Cattle Caught to help with her capture, and she was found early Wednesday and tranquilized enough to slow her down. She walked to a barn for food, and Loose Cattle Caught owner Matt Noble was able to close the door behind her.
