I asked the ranger at Farewell Bend park in Idaho (where Lewis and Clark said farewell) just what was the problem with that fence there. The "fence" was made from 12"X12" timbers... a six foot chunk of fence was missing... he said a bull bison got an attitude. The person who was teasing the bison lived.

I saw a old-style Caddy DeVille that lost an encounter with a bison. Both were parked when the challenge was taken. The Caddy lost. big time.

Just curious, I don't know a lot about such things,
but just how DO you park a bison?

Farewell Bend park in Idaho ...

Little nitpicking. Farewell Bend is where the Oregon Trail split off from the Snake River. At this point the river heads north into Hell's Canyon, and the Trail takes a northwest line towards Pendelton and the Columbia River. (The corner of Oregon that is cut off is a pretty rugged but beautiful area.)

Lewis and Clark never got this far south in Idaho. They cut across north of the Salmon River/Wilderness area -- in the Clearwater River area.

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.
