There’s a huge bison ranch in a small town called Florence Colorado that’s fenced off . There are signs posted all over the place warning people not to stop and mess with them. The stupid tourists are always stopping to take selfies. They’re magnificent beasts and be respected.

In the 1980s I was stationed at Camp Pendleton. They had more than a few bison herds. Those animals knew that they were on top of the food chain and acted like it. Needless to say, we weren't to disturb the bison; which made them more obnoxious. We always felt that the game wardens should have chased (using vehicles) the critters to condition them to stay away from us.

Once we were moving across an open area in deuce and a half trucks. Several of the bison decided to chase us. Since we were driving over open ground, you just couldn't speed up. The bison seemed determined to push us into bad terrain. One of the drivers, let a bison get too close, then he hit the breaks. The bison rammed the truck and fell down stunned. The whole herd broke contact after that and let us do what we wanted.

Bison aren't stupid, you just have to show them where they stand on the food chain.

Bison have bad eyesight.

They have bad eyesight and tend to view everything that gets too close to them as a threat.
