It’s the summer season in Yellowstone National Park, which means it’s open season for brazen bunglers to try their luck with bison.
Les Vandever of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, was in Yellowstone last month when he stopped near Floating Island Lake in northern Yellowstone to see if he could spot any bears. As he sat watching, a herd of bison ambled over and started crossing the road.
That’s when Vandever saw an incident of “unbelievable stupidity.”
“A kid got out of the back passenger side of a vehicle and took off running towards the bison,” he told Cowboy State Daily. “I don’t know if he was trying to spook them off or if he was just doing something stupid.”
When the individual charged towards the bison, the herd picked up its pace and finished crossing the road. After that, the man got back into the vehicle, and it drove off.
