We were walking one of the boardwalks in Yellowstone when we heard a tremendous roar getting louder and louder. We soon realized that we were in direct line of a running heard of Bison.
Being raised around cattle we were concerned but not panicked. The heard of cows and calves stopped with the three of us smack dab in the middle of about 50 of them.
We had the advantage being on the board walk that was elevated about 18 inches but there were Bison on both sides and a few on the walk itself.
We simply stayed together as a larger mass, enjoyed the view for a couple minutes, then slowly walked through the heard allowing the calves to rejoin the cows before passing.
Common sense and knowledge of cattle made it one very memorable moment.
I "heard" a "herd" of bison. (Please indulge me, Moderator. It's a teachable moment.)
Probably that dang auto correct!
Only three typos, I'm getting much better and consistant!:B
