Bison

[ckcarr]

These are Henry Mountain bison, not Yellowstone, although their ancestors were transplanted back in the 1940's from Yellowstone. They are free roaming, genetically pure genuine wild bison. Hard to find, like hunting because there aren't that many there. I'll go look for them once or twice a year, but the odds are about 15% that I'll see any so it's just an adventure.

There's always one watching out for the herd.

Nice shots Craig - especially #3. These look a bit leaner than the Yellowstone specimens probably due to the more sparse environment. Neat you do get to see them once in a while.

Neat set Craig, bit 3 is the real stand out.

Super cool Craig! Great job finding them, I can just imagine how hard that is.

my favorites are #3, 4 and 5.

The whole set is great, but I'll let that last shot WOW WOW WOW what an impact!

Great series, Craig. I love the back story too.

I guess I should confess that these are not all from the same day, or even the same year. On a good day, I might luck out and get a handful of shots, and then they run away! It would hardly be worth going over to try and find some except I just like roaming around over there. I always feel like I'm on safari and the last person on earth.
