A good friend of mine was in the wrong place at the wrong time outside of Salt Lake City and an “assault buffalo” took him on. He was lucky. Only got a few broken bones and a collapsed lung with numerous cuts and some serious bruises. He was alone at the time and managed to make it back to the parking area where folks called the ambulance for him. I believe he had his episode chronicled in Field and Stream or one of those type mags. Lucky that the buffalo didn’t do the old head down grind him in to the ground thing that they’ve been known to do.

I think I remember a golf course on the way to Park City that had a buffalo wandering around.

I once had the misfortune of finding myself about 15 feet away from a bison in Elk Island National Park. It was only be chance that it was in a good mood and choose to move itself down stream from his original position as I very carefully backed up and hoped it would not charge.

The US prison in Leavenworth has kept a couple of cow and 1 Male Bison in a large fenced area on the west side of the main Prison with a viewing area. Occasionally the cows calve and when weaned the calves are moved to the main herd at Ft Riley. while removing the momma and baby, the momma decided she didn't like trailers and ran off, it took 7 riders and a crushed Associate Wardens Volkswagen to get momma under control in 5 hours or so ,fun and lots of stories.
