Description Okay, you win.  

American Bison enter the Mammoth Hot Springs Terrace, scattering park visitors to find a safe distance.  There were about twenty of them that charged in to the thermal area just as I arrived.

How did you get that close to take a picture?

The bison literally barged their way into the area where all of us were viewing the hot springs.  It was quite exciting and a great opportunity to capture some photos up close.

Thanks man.  It was quite a scene when they came into hot springs with all of us there.

SharkHarrington In reply to StallionDesigns [2016-10-29 15:44:22 +0000 UTC]

Definitely.  There were people all over the place, and a couple of park rangers - but there wasn't much anyone could do except get out of the way.

StallionDesigns In reply to SharkHarrington [2016-10-30 09:52:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that is all you could do was just get out of the way, did it get your heart pounding, would have mine...

I was more excited than anything else.  I was thinking, I've got a very short time to get some photos before these animals move on.  At the same time I'm trying to crop people out and hoping to get a natural background, etc.

If you're talking Bison, I've got one more I'm thinking of.

I've always liked the Bison- and to me, the thought of millions of these roaming the Eastern US sounds like it could have been awesome for the photographers of today- that and swarms of Passenger pigeons that were so massive that they literally blocked out the sun when they passed by
 it always depresses me to think of all the amazing creatures that have been driven to extinction[or very near to it]

The good news is that the Bison herds are growing in healthy numbers now.  Conservation efforts are paying off at last.
