It looks like the truck passing between the bison and the man set the bison off.
Old man moved pretty well around them trees.
No matter how far away you are, it probably isn't far enough.


Not only that, but the bison had been tearing up the campground. The old guy and his grandson just happened to walk by. this isn't the normal stupid tourist incident. That bull needed a 454 round thru the head.

Yep, definitely not the norm for Bison behavior. I never have been out of my vehicle and got closer than 100 yards from a Bison in Yellowstone but sometimes We had to drive by them when they are standing right beside the road. The bison can easily snap since they are wild animals and do some major damage to property. That bull bison in the video went ape shi$ crazy and needed to be shot right where it stood. The man was plenty far enough away from it but the bull just lost it’s mind and if you don’t have a gun to put it down then you better climb a tree or be elusive.

I had one of the neighbor's buffalo get out of the fence onto me when I was doing some discing. I thought it would be a good idea to try and corral him with the front-end loader. Let's just say that was a bad idea...... Luckily, after he almost killed my dog and the neighbor got there, we were able to coax him back into the pasture without putting a bullet in his head.
