This is what happens when a bison decides he want to come through the fence and try to gore you! fun at our family reunion





The result;

I was rubbing his nose through the fence, he literally stuck his head through several links, gore/grazed me - I could feel the horn go into my arm at the bottom and I started to pull away just as his head came up violently.

Why were you rubbing his nose?

You can pick your friends.
You can pick your nose.
You can't pick your family.
Add to the list, you can't pick your family's bison's nose.

And I'm with Limited in asking why.

On another note, three weeks after a brown recluse bite my wife has only a slight bruise the size of a dime. Two antibiotics and an activated charcoal poultice. Yes, I think it pulled out the toxins, infection, and venom.

Once saw a '56 Pontiac totaled by a bison, so guessing your arm wasn't much of a challenge.

pretty wild!

Been bit several times by those llittle guys. Still have reminders in three of the places, Your gal is very lucky!

The bison reminded me of one of our cows at Uncle Hermans ranch, Her nickname (the only one he would allow as he had long term plans) was Hamburger. She woukd come to the fence, and nuzzle you. Give you a good lick. Sometimes it was slimy but could also be like being rubbed with sandpaper. You would give her a good rub on top of her nose and she loved it.

This bison meandered up to me. Not aggressive at all. Actually stuck his nose into my hand so rubbing seemed natural. Reflecting, maybe not..

anyhow, watched him afterwords and got some more shots. He never got aggressive, Didnt bolt. Didnt lower his head, bob it or anything - although my only reference though would be cattle.

There is no telling what she rubbed into your arm. I hope it is just sore and doesn't get infected.

It just screams hurt.

Go to a bait shop and buy some leeches.

Oh yeah that should make it better ha

He does have a cute little nose ha

They are a win win. They suck out the blood in that area then you can take them fishing.

I think the horn on the right still might have a little flesh hanging off it...

They've killed people just by turning into them.

Same thing with beef and dairy cattle. When you have half a ton to a ton of weight, you can crush a 228lb guy fairly easily.

Where I came from we called them buffalo.

I had to look that up when I got back from my walk. Bison - Buffalo are from the same subfamily of Bovinae but on different continents . In N and S America we only have Bison. Buffalo are native to Africa and Asia (envision water buffalo).

We heard the term so often from our wild west stories. A Bison robe simply doesnt sound the same as a Buffalo robe. A Bison Soldier - not as powerful as Buffalo Soldier.

Lots and lots of Misnomers throughout history... take Cinco de Mayo for example. Most think its Mexican independence from the Spanish. Its not. Mexican independence was won from the French Sept 16, 1867. Cinco de Mayo was a small battle of the Mexican Army vs the French in SoCal... strange how things evolve over time, eh?

"Lots and lots of Misnomers throughout history...." "Buffalo Bill" is a misnomer. No buffalos here.

Bison, aka American Bison, aka American Buffalo, aka Buffalo. My son-in-law's family are from the Bison, NY area, better known as Buffalo.

As Johnny Rivers once sang . . .

"
There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes
Another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow
"

'Cept I know nearly everybody and nearly everybody knows me . . . kinda.
