Walked out of the store at Old Faithful after dark, got in the truck. The headlights illuminated the large bison we had just strolled within 30' of. Got our attention real fast; that thing was bigger than our truck at the time.
But honestly we see more wildlife right at home most of the time. Black bear came right up to my wife in the yard huffing at her. Put my truck between a man and his dog and a black mamma bear with two cubs just a block from the house - he was almost ready to get in when the bears decided to leave - right towards the school where kids were outside – quick call to 911 got the school kids in and the building locked down real fast. Friend had a mountain lion in the tree in front of the house a few years back - tracks in the snow to prove it too.
More sightings of deer, turkey, coyote, black bear, coon, skunk that I can remember. And we live (w/o traffic) less than 20 minutes outside Manhattan.
