Oh, this is an interesting topic...which funny story should I tell...Hum...lets go with the day I had to outrun (outrun is a strong word) a bison bull. 2 years ago, I was at one of my favorite places, Elk Island minding my business and enjoying the landscape. Next thing you know this big freaking bison comes running out of the woods at me like holy shit how didn't I shit my pants, that's still a mystery! So normally when wildlife is around, the last thing one wants to do is run but hell this dude was gonna mess me up something fierce and I wasn't too far from the truck, I just had to make it there. My body left before my feet did in some awkward attempt at getting away, leaving them to have catch up trying not to bite the dirt on the way. Well long story short I made it safe and sound after tripping on my feet and almost falling a few times on the way to safety. I don't have a picture of myself running for obvious reasons but I probably looked something like this but imagine my feet further back:
Later that night when I got home, I turned on the evening news and turns out cranky pants buffalo had gored a jogger less than an hour before my encounter in the exact same spot, he got some serious horn in the ass and got swung around in the air a few times, at least I could consider myself lucky my ass fared better than his, he had a few extra orifice than suppose to. After all the excitement, I decided to do something quiet and take a trail, well on that trail I came face to face with 4 bisons that popped out of the woods 20 feet in front of me and I was in a field with really nowhere to run to safety, I thought to myself not again my gosh, I'm toast this time! Lucky for my behind, they looked as stunned as I was and didn't really react but the fact remained that I knew where they were going and I was in their way for sure so I slowly backed into the woods and hid there with a bunch of creepy spiders getting tangled in their webs until it was safe to get the fuck outta dodge! Both encounters were a bit terrifying at first but now I can laugh at the whole ordeal but it was a lot to handle for one day. Here is a picture of the fucker that tried to stick some horns in my ass (taken after I was in a safe location) and the news story of his not so fortunate human skewer, and then the 4(taken once I was behind the trees, where they are munching away is where I was standing when they popped out of the woods and the trail I had to be on to get out).
