Bison "attack"

[fourfive8]

For the world being so deep into the age of information, I think we may have the least informed population ever!

Yep let’s pet the big animal.

and get our ass kicked!!!

Sound advice

I think the parents in these cases should be prosecuted. A parent is required to care for a child, and that requires a little supervision. Everyone should watch a "skateboard fails" or "what could possibly go wrong" YT video before turning a kid loose in a National Park.............................FWB

Over 300 people have died in Yellowstone park. One of those deaths happened on the Yellowstone River, the same day I happened to be fishing it. A flyfisherman in his 60's, apparently lost his footing in the deeper heavy current, and was dragged under by his waders that filled with water. He floated almost 5 miles downstream before he was found. I was wondering what all the emergency vehicle sirens were going.

Ironically, I came close to the same fate 20 years prior, by trying to wade across the river at Buffalo crossing. Water was as high as the top of my chest waders, as I started bobbing downstream. Desperately trying to dig the toes of my wading boots into the stream bed. I made it across, and caught Cutthroat trout by the dozens. My return trip across the river was aided by a big dead tree branch that I used as a wading staff. It scared the crap out of me.

Children are supposed to have parents........these parents were idiots.........but also cowards........they ran when their daughter was charged! I would fine them double...............FWB

Agreed what parent runs away and leaves their daughter in the line of fire?

Stupid ignorant people is all it comes down to. Theses are the same anti hunting public that despise us.

If you have ever been to Yellowstone park, you may have seen the big tour buses. Often, they are filled with Asian tourists, or other foreigners. When animals are spotted, the bus will pull over, sometimes blocking part of the road. The people will pour off the bus like they are invading Normandy beach. It becomes pandemonium, along with a traffic jam.

I would always ask myself which one of those ding dongs is going to get steamrolled by a Buffalo?

25 yards is nothing. A Buffalo can cover that in a couple of seconds.

That’s exactly what I was thinking.

Here is a picture of a bison that I took at around 10 yards. This is a wild one in the Henry Mountains of Utah which has a free roaming herd. My brother in law had drawn the tag for a November hunt and we were down scouting them in September. This guy had been kicked out of the herd and if you look you will see that his right horn has been broken in a fight. Their mating time is usually in late July/August.

We spotted him from a mile away so I grabbed a camera and headed towards him. When I got within 50 yards I worked from tree to tree and when I finally popped out from around a tree at that 10 yards he just looked at me for the picture. Just after the picture he turned and headed into some thicker stuff. I was thinking that if he even twitched I was going up the tree that I was standing next to. It was a rush getting as close to him as I did.

He was shot the opening weekend of the hunt the first of November just above where he stands for the picture. They are magnificent creatures and you can see the power in their bodies. When we were there hunting my nieces son watched two bulls come off of a hill. His only comments were Da** they just ran over a tree, they didn't go around it but right over it without even slowing down.

I don't know where the phrase "common sense" came from since it's so uncommon. Maybe the park service needs to post some signs saying Caution: Man eating wolves.

One of the best Darwin award stories out of the park happened about 3 years ago when a woman from somewhere in Asia drenched her children in bear mace. Supposedly she thought it was a repellent you used to keep bears away from you. She was sort of right. . .

 

[Hogpatrol]

Put up this sign. 90% of visitors would believe it.

Darwin at work.

Back when I was practicing law, I represented some guy who worked for one of those roadside zoos. Buffalo got him right in the ass. And of course, they had no Workers Comp insurance, needless to say the Buffalo was destroyed.

I wonder if bears like their food “seasoned” like that.

They have actually found that it is a bear attractant when just sprayed around a campsite. Seams like bears like things a little bit spicy, they just don't like it when it is concentrated and getting into their noses.
