A video from a reporter in Montana has gone viral after the reporter spots a herd of bison coming toward him while setting up for his shot.

“Three, two, oh my god. I ain’t messing with you. Oh no. I’m not messing with you,” Deion Broxton says.

Deion Broxton KTVM ✔ @DeionNBCMT There was a herd of bison walking right toward me at @YellowstoneNPS today!

Embedded video 364K 1:25 PM - Mar 25, 2020

Broxton was doing a story at Yellowstone Park when he spotted the bison. He then packed up and got out of there. Then once he was at a safe distance away, Broxton took video of the bison.

This video has been seen more than 5 million times.

Yellowstone actually responded to his video commending his "social distancing" and called it “a perfect example of what to do when approached by wildlife.”

No. I was referring to the ‘bigfoot’ sighting with the 4 bison in the foreground. In the background at the end of the clip you see what appears to be several men, (bigfoot?) walking, a tree blocks their way, then only one comes out from behind the tree. Looks a bit like the men are somewhat transparent from before the tree. I’m thinking a bit of photo trickery. The person who comes out from behind the tree, singularly, walks perfectly upright and natural, anyway. Not like a bigfoot supposedly walks.

I was referring to size only. Standing within a couple feet of a Clydesdale in its stall at the Anheuser-Busch brewery made a vivid impression. Calm and gentle, and better groomed and smelling than my friend and me at the time. But BIG. Come to think of it, our grooming and road trip aroma may have been more bison like than draught horse.
