Keep your distance
They say you should stay 25 yards from bison. I was actually closer than that, I think, but only because I was standing behind a guardrail on an overpass with a significant gully between me and this huge bison. Still, despite that I was not moving, this bison was communicating with its stomping front hoof that he was not happy with my presence. Among the many bison we encountered in the national parks, this is the only one that had a grumpy disposition. Not sure what made him so much angrier than the others, but I took the shot and backed away.
Hit "z" twice for the close up of the stare this bison is giving.
