Nothing new or original... Silly tourists...

They think the Bison are a bunch of cows.  Look, some common sense:  They are feral, weigh many times what we do and can run faster than we can.  I imagine even the wimmin Bison will charge.

FFS, tourists!  Leave them the heck alone!  Lay off the Elk, too.  It's not a petting zoo out there.

FWIW, range cattle are a bunch of cows... You don't wanna be messin with them either... 
Your average buck deer will wreck you if you don't know what you're doing.

This stuff happens all the time. Folks are so ignorant as to get out of their cars with their kids to get close to a griz. Fools and their lives are soon parted.

FWIW Secret sauce ProTip:

I would not be caught dead walking that boardwalk without a .45 pistol and a 45/70. And I would be pretty jumpy without a buddy watching my back. Jussayin. Not playin.

Thank you! Saved me a bit of typing.

Hey. I bet you ain't riding into no herd of Texas Longhorns without a little something in the saddle scabbard either. And a little more hanging off your hip. Caution is a true companion.

I've done plenty of stupid things in my life but trying to pet animals that weigh many times what I do ain't one of them. Had to save my son once from a cow that some other folks raised and turned into a pet.  She left my herd the next day.

We're a Choir here...lol!

I wasn't any sort of land worker like farmer or rancher, but I lived were there were plenty of both.  I always had a healthy respect for the big beasts (never get crosswise with a boar hog, for example).  Especially the donkeys we've had around the Castillo.  Last year we had a larrrge well-scarred up Bull watching over his family, and you just don't mess with a working man.

They got to know us soon enough and were willing to be touched and fed by hand, but not Mr. Bull, no siree.  He gave us the "OK, you can be with us" look and that was good enough.

With that one on a promontory of my yard looking down 50 or so feet in all directions his herd was plenty safe from Yotes.

But this business with the idiot tourists cracks me up.  I've been to tame petting zoos like Deer Forest in Paw Paw, MI and they are nothing like a real Bison chasing your ass.
