Count it up. That is 290 head of disease free, technically wild bison going up for sale into private hands. And they do this every year (some years more, others less). But yet there are only 2 Antelope Island bison tags in the draw? Hmmm...
That's an entire herd objective in the Henries or Bookcliffs.
You could easily have bison in the Uintahs, Manti, La Sals, Grouse Creek, and a few other places in Utah--but for the public grazing parasites. The only reason bison is a OIAL hunt that most will never get to do is this. Utah could have +10k head of wild bison within a decade but it won't.
All sorts of places in the western states that could have these bison free roaming on public or tribal lands. But instead, they will go to private ranches and sold for canned hunts.
