When those big bulls come lumbering through the sage in Yellowstone, you’ve got to take notice. We waited across the road while this Bison bull munched on the grasses. After fifteen or twenty minutes, he decided to cross to the other side of the road, perhaps expecting greener pastures. The lone bull garnered slight attention because there was a herd up the road and most cars opted to stop for the larger herd. But he stopped traffic when he decided to lumber across. It’s always fun to watch these massive creatures in Yellowstone. They command respect. When he crossed the road, we were too close by park rules (minimum distance is 25 yards) so we had to get back into the vehicle. Of course, the shot on the asphalt road was not the kind of shot we wanted so we were content with the shots of the bull walking through the sage.
