What could possibly go wrong?

Hopefully quite a lot.

I stand corrected.

No where near enough went wrong.

Yup. I was hoping she would have gotten gored right through her window. Dope.

I haven't been to Glacier in over 20 years and until seven years ago, lived 30 miles away. Now I'm about two hours away and still wouldn't consider going there until at least mid-late September...if ever.

Magnificent beast. Formidable

I wonder why real genuine Matadors don't go out to play with Bison? They look so cute and harmless across a field. And they're not even all that tall. Lets call them slow moving and lumbering. I for one hope more city folk and the PC crowd take the fluffy plump things take them on. While they're at it, they should also get selfies with cuddly brown colored bear cubs while the innocent momma bears look on approvingly. Stupid is as stupid does. We should register them all as liberals. Then make the parks and places where it occurs liable for damages.

I was SO hoping for a good old-fashioned ass stomping. Darn...

I was expecting to see the bison throw him ten or twelve feet, and maybe stomp on him a little.

Yeah, kind of a disappointment.

You may not believe it, but I've seen people put marshmallows in their teeth/lips and let bears take them out. Yeah...people are that stupid.

And then, they climb back into their land yacht and lumber up the two lane road with no passing zones at about 15MPH.

And folks wonder why we hate tourists around here. Summer sucks. Bring on September.

When I lived in Alaska, my favorite t-shirt said:

In halibut season, bag limit is 2 per day

In moose season, bag limit is 1 per season

It's tourist season, what's the bag limit?

Years ago, yes, in Montana, we were riding in a pickup through a pasture loaded with both buffalo and beefalo. The rancher said, “Don’t do any sudden moves. Yesterday, one of the big bulls hooked his horns under one of our pickups and flipped it on its side.”

Don’t screw with wild animals.

We spend lots of time in Glacier Park. Stupidity abound.

What a complete tool. Is that guy drunk? Reminds me of summers in GNP when we would have to explain to tourists how feeding animals is wrong, or getting stuck behind bear jams when a dozen or more pinheads would stop their cars on HWY 2 and get out and walk closer to the animal.

I'm not only disturbed by this man's incredible lack of good sense and grandstanding for the sole purpose of being seen by others, I am equally disturbed by the ultra-short cut-off jean shorts and crew socks and no shoes he's wearing. I half think he was hoping to get buffalo-fucked.

There is a good chance his survival may actually have emboldened him and he will get his ass handed to him next time.

That big bison on a slippery road would probably be no big deal for an agile rodeo clown bullfighter to mess with. That fool was quite lucky.

You guys are awful. Personally, I wasn't hoping to see the guy get coin-tossed.

Well, OK, I was, a little...or more.

I used to be against such an idea, as I adhered to the 'Park is for everyone' ethos. 40+ years of visiting Yosemite and it's changed. The amount of stupidity amongst American's is pathetic but, the disregard and cluelessness of the international visitors is astounding. Every. Single. Pull-out, where there's a great view or, facilities, there's always somebody trying to feed the squirrels and marmots, occasionally there's the idiot trying to entertain themselves when the bears go traipsing through the parking lots looking for a vehicle to pop-open because they left their cooler/food smelling bag inside. With a lot more people trying to visit, and most not very aware a lottery may be the solution.

These National Parks are a "Moron-magnet".

Thankfully our local LARGE bison herd and annual roundup event tourist attractions haven't evidenced a lot of people - bison interaction problems.

Here's a clipping from 2016:

Depends on how hungry the crabs and bears are.
