Years ago, maybe, early 90s, I was tent camping w my climbing partner in Yellowstone when a bison decided to scratch its belly or balls on our tent w us inside. It was terrifying for a few short minutes. Anyone who is stupid enough to approach a wild animal is deserving of the results.

Good for the bison! Respect!

[@jingmeilin116]

I went to Yellowstone and saw bison. When a few slowly approached the highway we were on from the field, I was terrified. Just the sheer sight of them was enough to put me squarely where I was which was in the car. They were enormous and hearing them make their rumbling noises as they walked by so closely was terrifying. I'm not a fearful person, it's simply natural to fear wild animals of that size and power. It's puzzling to me some people just seem to have no sense of that fear being around them. I have to think they romanticize the animal.

[@MJSGamingSanctuary]

Some people should never leave the city. At a campsite like this, the guy next to us couldn't figure out how to light his coleman stove. He blamed it on bad fuel, and proceed to dump it in the grass between our campsites.

[@cierakitty]

I agree....at a safe place...I watched a guy gather green wood...then try and start a small cook fire. I walked over with some dead wood and sweet pine to start it for him. "Don't need a woman to tell me how to make a fire". I left him alone...and later watched him open a can of pork and beans and eat from the can. Me ? I had scrambled eggs and pan toast..over my little fire.

[@kathleenmartin8036]

That woman will have a $15,000 helicopter ride, with Medicare not likely to pay that fee. That woman did not use 1 ounce of “common sense” in her situation with the bison.

[@kathleenmartin8036]

Odie GSD, helicopter rides are one lump sum payment. The company never takes monthly payments. Neither do ambulance companies, unless they are connected to Hospital Billing Services. Ambulance rides are a minimum $5000 charge. Anything else is added on to the total charges. I do not think people realize how expensive those charges can be. And most health insurances only pay a limited amount of money, while ambulance services & helicopter services are actual bills & those transportation services DO NOT have adjustments w/certain health insurance companies. Usually, they do not accept Medicare payments. I have Medicare & have experienced several medical services NOT being covered by Medicare because the provider did not accept Medicare payments. Always ask before using a medical provider for a service. Plus, ask if the clinic & Hospital take Medicare Payments for services. If the clinic or Hospital doesn’t accept payment, you will be billed directly & you are responsible for the entire bill. Anyone who has Medicare better watch what activities they participate in and where they go on vacation. Clinics & hospitals in the 50 States & Territories have different health care systems, billing & payment schedules. Remember: Medicare tells people on Medicare to call ahead & see if the Clinic, Hospital & provider accept Medicare Payments for services. If they don’t accept payment t, your bill will NOT be paid & you will be responsible for the current actual billing charges without a Medicare discounted rate.

[@applejack2911]

She not

[@firstlastname7437]

Apologies, but she was from California where everyone puts out good vibes and the world returns it, one with mother nature and all. The wood fairies and buffalo spirit told her that she could go right up and give that "tower of muscle" a big hug because it would just "know" she meant well. At the end she looks like she is holding a conversation and dancing on her toes. That family was level headed and thanks to them they were there to help. There is a man on KZbin who lets a bear with cubs when she has them, come right up on his porch and eats birdseed while he sits there and talks to them. Recently she came over and mouthed his foot. Everyone on line was like "Oh, she trusts you so much !" and "you are one with the bear"; so was Timothy Treadwell until he and his girlfriend were torn apart and eaten by his special bear friends. People want to think wild animals are outdoor pets when they are anything but. We read into their behavior what we want to believe instead of observing what they are really trying to tell us.
