I’ve seen bison at Yellowstone National Park and in Waterton Lakes National Park (in Alberta), but never this many and never this close to the road in such large numbers. Talk about an unforgettable experience. This definitely gave me a good laugh while looking through all these pictures.

It’s not easy taking photos for such unpredictable moving creatures. You got many great captures!!

I so wanted a great head shot of a buffalo. But they moved quickly around us. Or they came up too suddenly to photograph. It just wasn’t a picture-taking day even though I wanted it to be! Thanks for taking a look!!

What an experience you had. I’ve only seen the photos and documentary of the buffalo. We haven’t travel to places to see real ones. I would be nervous to drive with one hand and hold the phone with the other to take photos. If I did, I would worry of dropping the phone. You did a good job. It sounded like a good suggestion from the driver in the truck to keep moving slowly. I guess the buffalo could sense the movement of the car and they would move on. Thank you fro sharing this amazing experience!

If you can get back, Custer State Park is fabulous. I’d love to stay in a couple of the lodges. Great scenery. And great BIG buffalo!

OMG! We didn’t see motorcycles that day, but I would have been terrified. These guys are much larger and heavier than I imagined. Thanks for letting me know your encounter. It was fun, and I’d do it again. But I’d rather be in an RV!

Definitely scary but also VERY cool!

I don’t think we had a rush hour that trip. This must have been something!!
