What do those things way like 2 ounces? Think you might get in trouble firing them in a national park.

Look at the size of a buffalo vs a car!

If we’ve got to use the word “outran”, This Guy likes your version: Men “outran” the women.

But to finish editing the government’s warning: Bison can outrun humans. But this is only a euphemism. The real point to make is that Bison can “run down” humans In this case they certainly “ran down” the “outrun” women!

I wouldn’t say a thing. If you are that stupid to screw with a wild Bison, without a 300wby mag, you need removed from the gene pool.

Climate change is to blame. Or perhaps it is structural racism.

Maybe both.

A quick look says one can conceal carry in Yellowstone. Perhaps open carry too? One can shoot an animal if in self defense. Although I imagine that means if you are out on a trail and a Grizzly attacks you. I don’t think parking the car and walking up to a Bison that then gores you would be covered.

I didn’t even read the excerpt!

“The female was walking with another individual in a field in front of the Lake Lodge when they saw two bison...”Upon seeing them, the visitors turned to walk away from the bison. One of the bison charged and gored the woman.”

Shooting it would have been considered self-defense in my book. Better have a big gun though! I imagine that bear spray would work on Bison.

Don’t poke the bear.

Applies to Bison too.

STAY FAR AWAY.

Wow! Interesting video. It punctured the steel door! I'm telling you, that bison is one tough monkey!

Much of Montana [and Wyo.] are still wild places.

Act accordingly.

Its almost as if Bison were huge, fast, powerful animals which have been known to aggressively defend themselves.

Strange.

I love the way - after seeing the Buffalo gore the SUV in front of her....puncturing the metal door with his horn....she rolls the window up. As if that’s going to do anything. :^)
