Of everything in the Rockies, only grizzly bears scare me more than moose. It's extremely large, powerful, unpredictable, aggressive, and can run or swim faster than any human. I've accidentally crested a hill and been almost as close as they are, and that was existentially terrifying.
Every few years there's a close call or an injury or a death in Yellowstone when people get too close to bison.
Despite warnings, woman approaches bison for selfie in Yellowstone - YouTube.
According to an ex, there's an ice cream stand at Yellowstone with televisions alongside the queue. They show looped footage of bison charging people as a PSA.
Here people do it with elk and I always just kind of stand there and watch. That's a horse covered in knives. Be the PSA that saves lives.
But do we really want morons staying in the gene pool?
We don't want moose being euthanised for a pattern of attacking humans.
We don't need some kind of bison induced eugenics program.
When I went to Yellowstone, bison closed the road multiple times and shuffled through the cars on their daily movements. We were inches away from them, just window glass between us. Their shoulder level was the top of the car, I could see the grass bits in their fur. We were along a steep hillside, if they wanted to shove our car into the ravine, they probably could. They had young calves with them. Everyone was chill and it ended up being a really memorable experience. It's a pretty unique experience seeing an animal that can make a car feel small
