Okay, that first 27 seconds made me super excited! I think that's as close as anyone I've seen has been able to film a semi-panoramic concept of bison body language and behavior in action. (HI! I'm a self-taught animal behaviorist with an emphasis on ruminants.) Bison have panoramic vision which enables them to see all around them (especially when their heads are down). This kind of vision enables them to have constant visual communication with their herd and its surroundings. The pace you're walking, the direction you're facing, and your pauses during that first 27 seconds all have meaning to your bison, and they were responding to it really beautifully. A great shot, thank you!

We were thinking the same thing. On one hand, she was hardly eating all week, but on the other hand, she could very well have miscarried at an early stage. I know some animals will sometimes consume the material that is ejected. Not to sound gross, but that's just the way it is sometimes.

Aluminum doesn't stand a chance against bison. Weld a frame out of pipe. Find a company that uses conveyor belts. Maybe they will give you an old one you can cut to use as the feed holder.

Get rid of the bugger because it might not be a feeder he destoys next time it could be you or someone else that feels ❤ his anger but if you want to gamble with your life then carry on and don't listen to someone whose seen a bull go on the rampage i used to be a shepherd working amongst sheep but I had to give it up due to ill health issues but i was working in a lambing field when I saw the bosses charolais bull running along the road and he said let him go hes angry about something the destruction he caused was bloody terrible he took nearly a whole fence out a brand new one at that so he didn't stay long afternoon mate
