tous Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Why didn't that person (won't assume its gender) just declare a safe space and gather a group of social justice warriors to shout any offending bison out of the park? Or have their Twitter and Instagram accounts cancelled? What do you mean that bison don't respect the rules of woke? That makes them racist. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a juvenile, but ponies aren't 2000 pound world class athletes. Amazing what these animals are capable of. Ponies have a little mercy, usually, bison don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Out on a logging with my brother, Dan jumped off a stump and slapped a black bear on the ass. Bear Launched and hauled ass. We got a picture with the old Instamatic. Dan did have a .44 in his hand when he did it. Fun times, but we weren't like this clueless city boy. BTW, if you grab a racoon by the scruff of the neck, it will turn around inside its own skin and eat your hand alive....in a flash. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porschedog Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 The guy mucking with the “fluffy cow”almost won his Darwin Award. Sadly, the buff might have been blamed and euthanized if it had rightLy stomped the guy into a puddle of spaghetti sauce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostinTexas Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 The lady belonging to the pants above survived only due to the efforts of bystanders risking life and limb to distract and frustrate the bison. I saw the film, not sure if it is still out there. She was trying to take a selfie, and the animal angered. It was doing quite the number on her. Note the picture. Others stepped in, and the animal gave up on her. She was injured but lived, again thanks to the people who witnessed the attack. I'm very happy she lived. If not the parks service would have destroyed the animal. He was just being what he is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbie18 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I've been around plenty of bison. They don't bother you if you keep a good distance from them. It's common sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 We hunt them in Alaska. The state reintroduced Wood Bison a few years ago. By far the largest subspecies of the Bison family. Of course, the Natives started poaching them almost the moment they were released into the wild. The bison we hunt are not the Wood Bison. Well except for the ones the Natives poach.

Elk are pretty large, and all I had to reference, but not a ton of fun. Better have a mule or horse to help with skinning, and packing. A few of them would probably be best. We used 4 and it took 2 trips. Great time and one I can't repeat. Glad I got to experience it. I was amazed the size, the tough hide and hair, and how fast it would dull a knife. Like nothing I had ever seen and I thought hogs were a hot mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed the size, the tough hide and hair, and how fast it would dull a knife. Like nothing I had ever seen and I thought hogs were a hot mess. Moose are quite a bit larger than elk. I have packed plenty of both, but try to avoid it if I can. In Wa. back my logging days we would sometimes manage to get elk to the road whole by dragging them out with haywire. 3/8's cable in 250' lengths. Sometimes would need 4-5 sections to reach the elk. Other times we packed them, often quite a distance. My longest moose pack was when 4 of us dumped 2 bulls miles from the road. Fun times. I was much younger then. Now days I can usually manage to get them to the road whole, or maybe cut the hindquarters off and get them out in 2 pieces. I have sections of rope and blocks I use. There is a receiver mount on the headache rack of my truck to winch them up into the bed after I get them to the road. One big bull I loaded like that in my long bed truck with his head against the front, hind quarters on the tailgate, rear hooves dragging on the road. He was massive. I should have took some pics.

Huaco Kid Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I worked for a guy that had much old farmland (surprisingly, working on very cool electronic / mechanical stuff in an old metal building). His wife was full American Indian (I forget which) and was a registered Shaman, so she went into the prisons when requested by inmates. They had two buffalo (Tatanka!) in the fields that she used for religious stuff (she did a lot of community work). We didn't see much of them. I guess they liked to be waaay back in the woods. One of them died one day. We were tasked with burying it. I never saw one that close. Waay bigger up-close. But he had ancient bulldozers and backhoes and we dug a hole big enough to put a mobile home in. The ancient tractor struggled, dragging it into the hole. I wanted to knock off it's horns, or ears, or tail, but that would have surely angered The Gods and pissed off a Shaman. You don't want Shamen mad at you. You just don't.
