Or don't.
It keeps me amused to watch the dumb fuckers sneak up on them and try to walk up on them. My wife tells me I'm an asshole when I am yelling at the idiots and telling them to pet the big fluffy cows. Or yelling "Do it! Do it!". The fuckers don't listen to you when you tell them it's not a good idea anyway. Even when I tell them I helped raise them and butcher them as a youngster and try to explain to them why it's a bad idea. Fuck it. They don't listen. So I just use them as amusement. I told the bitch that guided her tour group into the very field that my wife and I were vacating because the bison were moving in to that area. She didn't listen. Thankfully her group of tourists heeded the warning and stayed back where I confronted them. She continued on and got run down. My wife and I left minutes before it happened. I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh when I saw the video all over the news. She didn't listen. Bison are very curious, territorial and big. They are not unpredictable as people think if you know what to look for. I used to work in some very confined places with them. You quickly learn what to look for and how to react. |

There's 87 Bazillion signs staying to stay back from the buffalo, ignore them at your own peril. Fuck the assholes that can't figure it out, they're too stupid to continue breathing.

We were fishing the Yellowstone river once upon a time. As I recall we were not too far downstream from Yellowstone lake and it was opening week for that stretch of river. There was a large relatively shallow section of relatively slack water where we were fishing - so I had waded quite a ways out to get to where I could cast to moving water. Noticed a herd of bison walking up the shoreline - on our side of the river. Of course they decided that they ought to be on the other side of the river - so the entire herd of the things executes a 90 degree right maneuver and crosses the river. I had bison upstream, downstream, and headeded right towards me. No possible way to cross - just stood there while they crossed. They didn't give a shit that I was right in the middle of them - but they passed to either side of me.
Run into them several times hunting mule deer near the CMR. It's kind of spooky walking around the nose of a small ridge or feature and having just a few yards away from you, looking right at you. |

Before wife and I were married, we took a trip out west intending to make a quick weekend at Yellowstone.
In SD we were watching the Buffalo alongside the road, we were stopped. Then they decided to walk on the road. It was awesome. Flowing around the parked cars. Windows were open, but we didn't touch them. Trip was cut short because soon to be wife got a call saying she'd been hired for a job she applied for, so we had to highball it home. Still haven't been to Yellowstone. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was in Custer State Park in SD, and one of the employees was telling about where he and other employees camp. There was a bison which would come into camp each night and lie down a few yards from the humans. No one was dumb enough to approach this pet of theirs. We drove through the wildlife loop road one night at dark. Pulled off in one of the spots and got surrounded by a large group of bison. Just turned off the truck and watched them for about an hour. On the way out a few miles down the road we came upon a big old bull walking down the middle of the road alone, he was HUGE and gave no shits about the truck behind him, just kept on doing what he was doing. We went wide to his left to get around him and just as the passenger side window was lined up with him he swung his head pretty quickly to the left to take a look at us. My GF just about shit herself. lol Cool fuzzy animals, but no thanks, I'll keep away. Spent last week at Theodore Roosevelt Nat Park. Saw a few. |

When I was in Custer State Park SD about 20 years ago I was stopped while a whole herd crossed the road in front, around, and behind me.
It was late spring/early summer and there were a TON of babies in the group. The moms all had that look on their face that said "mess with my baby, you die". I just sat there in my tiny Honda hoping they didn't get pissed off enough to ram it LOL. At one point one baby got on the opposite side of my car from Mom and Mom shot me a look as she passed my car hood that made my blood run cold. I just put my head down and held my breath until she moved on. My window was halfway down and I could smell them and hear the snorting. It was both amazing and terrifying at the same time. That same trip I saw idiot tourists in Yellowstone chasing down bison and elk. There were so many "tourons" in the park even back then that it kind of spoiled some of the park for me. I was sort of hoping that they'd get too close to the thermal features LOL. Matter of fact, I think someone had fallen into one a few days before I was there. |

I think the closest I have ever been to shitting my pants was out at the farm one night cruising along the fence with a light on the bike. The bison got spooked and began stampeding. There were probably 80 of them in that pasture. The rumble combined with the ground shaking was absolutely mind boggling. The fence which was built with 5 inch thick wall pipe uprights and three rows of well pipe and rows of highway barrier cables above that was not a challenge to a pissed or scared bison. A pair of fighting bison would just go through it. Weirdly enough.. I would love to experience a bison stampede again. |

There used to be a small herd on a farm about 15 miles from my house. All you have to do is stand near “their” fence and you find out real quick that they spend most of their time hoping some mudder fudder gives them a reason….

A 3 foot orange rebar is your friend. They are smart enough to learn after a good hard crack in the nose or between their eyes. It must sting just enough.. because one time is usually all it takes for them to not mess with you anymore. The ones fresh off the truck are mean mother forkers. Some of them loved to follow us around like puppy dogs and lick the salt off of our arms when we were sweating. But those were usually the ones that had been around the farm a while. |

I was in Yellowstone last week and their were buffalo everywhere. One even went into a rest area and blocked a guy from opening the door to the bathroom in order to leave. He had to wait a minute for it to move on.
Saw several people, mostly young women, run toward them instead of keeping a safe distance. One came up to the car and if I had opened the window I probably could have touched him. As mentioned in a previous post, there are signs everywhere to leave them be.  Attached File |
