Buffalo Petting Season is off to a good start

An 83-year-old woman was seriously injured when she was gored by a bison in Yellowstone National Park over the weekend, the park said Monday.

  1. At Yellowstone a ranger told me if he was close enough to see them blink, he was too close.

  2. Apparently wisdom does not come with age when huge animals just need a hug.

  3. It doesn't really surprise me how stupid people are......wildlife need their space and to think we should be only a few feet from these beautiful creatures is ridiculous. People get exactly what's deserved.fafo

  5. The answer to this 83-year-old babe vs. Bison is plain as day. Solid odds say she's a lifelong Democrat and Biden voter with bad hearing. A friend who was standing next to her said: "Hey here come's Bison", but she heard "Here comes Biden".

  6. shit like this never fails to crack me up. and yes. people are just that stupid. used to see dumb ass fools come in the ER all the time. we used to call it the Walt Disney thing.
    people watch cartoons and think that wild critters act just like that (???)
    the worse one was some cop outside a large city that jumped into a window well to help out a buck that fell in there. that buck kicked and mauled the shit out of his dumb ass before the other cop shot it dead. it is a wonder the cop didn't get shot as well really from the story I heard about it. wild critters are just that, wild. and again. people are that stupid. dave in pa.

  7. When they asked her what she was thinking she replied, nothing. It's apparent she has been doing that for years.

  10. The story doesn't describe how she got close to it. At 83 you can't move so fast. Maybe it walked up on her where she couldn't see it and just wasn't fast enough to get away. I know it's a longshot but there it is.

  11. 83 is old enough to know better.

  12. Storm Point Trail, where this took place goes from the highway east of Fishing Bridge to the lake. It's fairly wooded, without good sight lines ahead to to the sides until you get to the lake. The local patter about this is that she and the bison essentially stumbled upon each other. Fight or flight and the bison chose option A. We've been stopped in the past by a small herd of bison that decided camping on the trail was a good idea near where this happened.

    1. Thanks for the confirmation of my above comment. Although there are so many stupids out there it's only natural to think that's just another one.

  13. Hope she recovers OK, but if she doesn't St Peter is gonna raise an eyebrow and say: "You did what???"

  15. Kenny. Compadre. Dude. That headline was perfect. It gave me the best fit of the guffaws and silly giggles I've had in a while. I've had in ages.
