Not a healthy choice to kick a Bison.
The incident took stupid human tricks to an entirely new level, the curator of the Yellowstone National Park: Invasion of the Idiots* social media site told Cowboy State Daily on Monday.
“You think you’ve heard it all, and then there’s this,” Jen Mignard said. “That is absolutely nutty. What the heck?”
Clarance Yoder, 40, of Idaho Falls, suffered only minor injures in the attack that happened April 21, according to the statement released Monday afternoon by the Yellowstone National Park Public Affairs Office.
Yoder was charged with being under the influence of alcohol to a degree that may endanger oneself, disorderly conduct as to create or maintain a hazardous condition, approaching wildlife and disturbing wildlife.
He appeared in court April 22 and pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Official Scorecard
For those keeping score, if convicted, Yoder would receive at least 100 points in the "Bison versus Tourists" scorecard available on the Yellowstone: Invasion of the Idiots page.
According to the scorecard, a trip to the hospital, as a result of a bison incident, is worth 100 points.
A simple ground goring is worth one point. But if the goring was preceded by a charge, two points are awarded.
Eight hundred points are presented for flying over a fence due to a head butt.
The real money winners, however, are for de-pantsing: 1,000 points; goring and getting tossed into a tree: 2,000 points; goring, getting tossed into a tree, and de-pantsing: 10 million points.
