I have not talked to any of you for a while. I jst got back from a vacation in south dakota and montana.

Have any of you ever experience being surrounded by a herd of over 1000 Buffalos?

You wouldn’t lie to us, would you?  Were there really 1,000 of them or were there only 999?

There was at least that many. And once they have blocked the road you had better plan on staying there a long time because they are not going to move untill they are good and ready.

They are neat animals to watch.  I got caught in a herd passing across the road one time in North Dakota.  One of them stopped a few feet away from me and kept giving me the evil eye.  I tried to not make eye contact with him because I kept on thinking he is looking for a reason to ram my truck and I didn't want to give him a reason to do it 😉

"Have any of you ever experience being surrounded by a herd of over 1000 Buffalos?"

Were you in Yellowstone? The flooding has made a mess of entry there.

Yep. Well, not really surrounded. I have some in the freezer, though. I think the only burgers we've had at the house have all been bison (not really buffalo...) for the past 25 years.

The "MT" in my username is because I live in Montana. The National Bison Range is near me and that's where you get to drive through and over the hills, where they have bison, mountain sheep, elk, bear, etc.

"Some folks don't know the difference between a pet and a wild animal. Unfortunately some of those folks learn their lesson the hard way."

On the local news, we saw the seasonal count is Bison 3 and Tourist 0, because 3 tourists have been tossed and no bison was harmed.

Both Yellowstone and Glacier are an easy drive from me. I do thank all of you for providing your tax dollars to what is essentially my back yard and side yard.

All you need are a few trees and maybe a lake or two to go with those critters.  I'll see what UPS is willing to ship and I'll try sending some out to you ----------------- we have plenty 😉
