We had a young bull bison in a corrall who didn't like the idea of being put in a "press" to get castrated. Ran at a steel gate and bent it to a 90 degree angle. They're like tanks on four legs. As a neighbour said after inspecting the gate it gives you a new respect for the native americans who hunted the things with a bow and arrow from horseback.

I live outside Delta Junction, Alaska where the buffalo
roam free. They also have domestic herds for the Buffalo
Diner here in town. On our trip through Canada, one guide stopped at our camp and said we'd better move out with our
horse and mule as the buffalo herd within a half mile had two rank bulls that had killed his mule. Needless to say, we moved on down the road where we spotted several bear on the side of the road as we stopped to water our horses.
When you live in Alaska you have a numerous encounters
with bear, buffalo and moose. It is definitely wild country up here.

The natives, ran the Bison off cliffs and overhangs...didn't they?
