    This is not a charge. This herd is migrating from one grazing area to another and the man made road was paved in their path. A beautiful sight to see the herd is growing.

      @@sstills951 It was reported way back then that it could take 3 or 4 days for the number of bison to go through a valley. There were millions of them. Once there were 50-to-100 million buffalo, they were the most numerous large mammals to ever exist on the face of the earth.

    I have been on this road and sat through the same thing... we stayed at the north entrance to Yellowstone and every morning would go into the park. This large herd crossed every morning from the west side of the road to the east. We spent the day in the park and then every evening got stopped by the same herd crossing from the east side of the road to the west. They come very close to the cars. I have a great pic of my entire side passenger window filled with the shoulder of a buffalo. I could have reached out to touch it, if I had been stupid...

      @@dawnegan3984 I don't know about Yellowstone, but in Custer State Park in South Dakota, they have a good idea of how many bison can be supported by the park, and they try to keep the herd to around that size. If there are too many bison, then there's not enough to eat. I think they eat something like 32 pounds (14.5 kilos) of food/day. Unfortunately for the bison, they are tasty as well as magnificent. I eat the meat of cows, pigs, and chickens, so I see no reason not to eat bison as well.

    Lived in Montana 5 years, many trips to Yellowstone. NEVER saw so many in a bunch like that so near cars. Been in traffic jams where they threaded in between cars nonchalantly, but this large herd is great. In Sept. they should be heading for lower altitude, but these are heading up to Silver Gate.Maybe they turn off before reaching Beartooth Pass which is above timberline.

    I had to slowly ease my way through the herd. Lucky for me they were in a good mood and no bits of car was taken as a trophy by the herd.
    But the first thing that came to mind was: Um, I didn't think to look up what to do if surrounded by buffalo.

    Charge???? What charge? They were just moving along calmly doing their thing. The babies are ADORABLE!

    They are not charging. If they have charged you this post wouldn't be here. Bison don't attack unless you frighten them.

    Happened to us, too and near a cliff drop. Scary.

    Awesome sight on video. I'm sure even more so in person.

    Good thing they didn't ram into the car. That's the time to sit perfectly still in the car and not draw attention by waving or honking one's horn.

    My one dream destination is Yellowstone. A fantasy that's easier said than done when someone says "Don't talk about it, just do it. Save up". 🤞🐂

      and go immediately after the park opens officially in early June, or at the seasons' end, when the RV's and school families are long gone. You then almost have the park to yourself. That's the experience you want.
