buffalo tough
« on: February 19, 2008, 08:07:10 pm »
For those of you who are thinking about hunting buffalo, I thought you might find this interesting.  These pictures were taken about 10 miles from old faithfull guyser in Yellowstone Park.Ill leave the naration of the park employee on and let him explain.

"The buff-griz encounter is one of the coolest things that I have seen
During the 15 years that I have lived in the park.
The pictures appear in chronological order. The bear walked across the
road in front of me and started chasing the buffalo herd across the
Field. Eventually one of the bulls challenged the griz and ran him off.

The last picture shows how the bull and bear were running in parallel
circles around the herd, with the bull on the inside track."

Bear had to weigh his odds :D. You live inside Yellowstone? That's got to be heaven (most of the time anyway).

Cowboy, no I don't live in Yellowstone. I left the narrative from the photographer on there.  ;) Justin

I am fortunate to live near Yellowstone and i can assure you more often than not a healthy Tatanka will overpower any Bear and even the super predators... Wolves think twice about messing with a healthy Buff..... great series of pictures.. thanks for sharing brother ..Mike a/ho

Exactly why I addressed the guys wanting to hunt him. That is no little bear either. 
I think Bob and I have a date with that bull with a spear and a bow.  To bad he is inside the park.  Justin

Good stuff Justin. Thanks for the pics. Yeah there is no doubt the buff is a tough critter and not to be taken lightly. Anything that can put a grizz on the run is not too be taken lightly. As I have posted on another thread I have decided that I need more bow , more arrows and more time to make that attempt. I still intend to harvest one for the meat ( I just can't pass it up) I will just use more modern methods this time. Next year I will be ready to do it the way I  wanted to.   Danny
