Yellowstone TV Series trailer (starring Kevin Costner)

Sounds interesting.

Wyoming has a contentious history with the Federal government.

Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons was the longest National Park battle in history.

Ranchers didn't want any land designated as park land outside of Yellowstone. They wanted continued free grazing and to be able to kill wolves with impunity.

Finally an agreement was reached - the land John D. Rockfeller had privately bought up was donated to the government...and Grand Teton National Park was created...adding about 200,000 acres to old Grand Teton National Monument (which was just the mountain peaks).

As a result of the compromise, existing grazing rights were grandfathered in, ranchers were compensated for lost profits and no President could ever again use the Antiquities Act to pass legislation in the State of Wyoming without the express permission of Congress.

So the State that had America's First National park, is the only state in the Union where the antiquities act is null and void.

Don't even need to watch the trailer to know that I'll watch and probably enjoy the series.

That link is cancer on mobile.

That said, Sheridan sure does love to add in some unrealistic situations for more drama and it looks like this one will follow suit.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved his recent trilogy of Sicario, Hell or High Water, Wind River. But it was literally retarded seeing the weapons that drill rig security team was carrying in Wind River. Having worked on a few rig sites in Wyoming, the most any of those guys would’ve been carrying was a pistol.

Anyways, I’ll watch the hell out of this.

I predict Costner has a late in life resurgence.


Watched Dances with Wolves the other night and it still holds up. What a great flick
