“This is OUR House!”
Had a friend who went on a hike by himself near Salt Lake City about 10 or 12 years ago and he encountered a buffalo. He moved very slowly and tried to not show any signs he was a threat. The animal charged him and he got hit and landed behind the buffalo and remained as still as he could. Eventually the beast wandered off and my friend managed to get back to the now closed ranger station. Some other visitors saw him and he ended up air evac’d to a hospital. Broken collar bone, broken ribs, punctured lung, concussion. He stayed in ICU for about a week. He says he was lucky. In a way, yup. He was forever known as Buffalo Jim after that. I think he even penned an article for Field and Stream or a mag like that.
May is a peak time for bison to give birth, and there are likely many baby bison in the area this person was trail running. They were likely just being protective.
That’s no bull !
Keep it up, and you'll experience both.
It’s called, ‘The Wild’ for a reason.
Was the bison part of the proletariat?
He set up a GoFundMe account to help with his recovery.
Really? He doesn’t have any health plan on his own?
30 y/o, and no nothing?
Or maybe his policy refuse to cover such injuries w/o a biug rate increase.
Might want to stay away from that area during this time of the year here on out.
I sympathize. We nearly got Gored in 2000.

Awesome... another reason I have not to run.
Buffalo.
That’s what we call them. I don’t care if they are hooved ungulates, ruminates, whatever, technical schmecknical. Buffalo.
