Bison crossing or walking along the road to get someplace is a fact of life in YS. They are basically UNCARING when it comes to cars. However when cornered along a stretch of road by steep slopes and 2 way traffic it's wise to just sit still and let them pass at their own pace. Of course Horn holes in your door or fender do make for great conversation starters !!!
This is an Average size Bull.

Excellent wildlife capture, Jack! I would give it a wide berth. #9715992Jeffrey R. Bange October 04, 2011
What a great shot Jack, after being this close to one of them I can see why you would give them the right of way. It's hard to believe that these magnificent animals are responsible for more human deaths and injuries each year then any other animal you will come across in the National parks. #9715998Jeffrey R.

Beautiful close up Jack. I remember when I was there waiting 45 minutes and inching along through the fog with them all over the road. #9716592Robert K. Bemus October 05, 2011
