Anybody else have an uncomfortable closeness to wildlife but were lucky in the encounter?

So? I just found it and it’s as entertaining now as it was back then. It’s why it’s under chit-chat and not under breaking news.

big heavy buffolo can run pretty fast,

There are buffalo's on Catalina island. I was a Sea Scout in Long Beach and spent many weekends on the Island, we often walked past them as they were grazing. We viewed them just was we would cows and never had an incident.

I think the Island Buffalo's though were pretty tame.

This woman was lucky indeed.

But the message is just as pertinent as it was then.

Ever wonder why rodeo clowns run in circles around the bulls? In a straight away the bull would win every time, they just don’t corner well...

That’s correct.

We were descending the switchback trails from the mud pots in Yellowstone a few years back. Came around a blind curve and there was a massive bull in front of us, maybe 8 or 9 feet away. It stated kicking and grunting as they do.

There were six of us and we made the collective and simultaneous decision to jump the rail fence and cut down to the next switchback, which you are not supposed to do due to fragile ground, etc.

Anywho, we made it to the bottom unscathed and, by then, laughing. I remember telling my marathoner sister-in-law that I was prepared to trip her if need be.

Little did we know, a huge group at the bottom of the hill was watching the whole thing, even knowing before we did that we were on a collision course. Man, they have us an earful, telling us we should have just double backed the whole way up and back down the other side.

It would have taken over an hour and we were hot and tired. I think we made the right call.

You don’t need to talk to strangers out there. Or listen to their opinions.

You can’t roller skate in a buffalo herd..

The times we went to Yellowstone I was amazed at the dipships that would run off with a camera chasing all kind of dangerous wildlife trying I guess to get a selfie with one. I always thought “Darwin principle at work”.

I've been to Elk Island National Park, and every place in the park where visitors congregate is filled with signs warning people to stay the hell away from the bison (the animal in this video is a bison, not a buffalo).

I stopped going to national parks because I finally realized that everyone in North America with a room-temperature IQ makes a point of visiting them and doing stupid things that put their lives at risk.

Up close with 2 bears and a buffalo.

Yeah, putting my suitcase in the trunk of my car in front of Yellowstone Lodge. Heard a noise and looked behind me and a buffalo was just standing there about 10 feet away, just looking at me. I never heard it come up behind me. We just looked at each other. It turned left, I turned right. No harm done except for the memory burned on my brain! Damn those things are BIG!

Too bad they didn’t win the stupid prize.

Looks like they instigated it.

Nickel back...

I makes me very angry to see people approaching wild animals likes its Disneyland..

not only are these idiots endangering themselves, they are endangering the animals, because the animal will get moved or put down for protecting its territory...

people say they love animals then do this to them...

Did they throw something at the buff? That was really, really stupid. Those things are damn mean as hell.
