about “picked him up on its horn”. . .

“And this winter, while feeding the bison, one named Patrick butted him gently to push him away and its horn caught under Makinson’s snowmobile suit belt. “He lifted his head and lifted me up. He was carrying me. He was backing up and I was dangling from his horn.” It hurt his back but he says he’s mostly recovered now.”

Wow. Patrick is the size of a smaller pickup truck. They are really a throwback to 10,000 years ago or so.
