Bison tosses 9-year-old girl into the air as animal charges Yellowstone tourists ABC7

[Stuart G]

11. Hard to believe, but I broke this rule...at least 4 times.

"The park service cautioned visitors that animals at Yellowstone National Parkare wild and to always stay at least 25 yards from bison, elk, deer and moose"

...Bison, elk, deer, and moose. On at least 4 occasions I got within 3 or 4 feet of these animals at state parks and national parks. And somewhere in one pile of pictures or another, I got pictures to prove it. (except for the moose, it was too dark to take a picture.) the moose waked right by a fence in Yellowstone Park 40 years ago, and stood there while campers at the camp site went to the fence and fed it. From what I saw they fed it fruits and vegetables. It seems the moose showed up regularly the campers said. I just got close and watched the weird scene. And yes, it was a wild moose. Oh, I forgot, once a mountain goat stuck his face on to the car window for a moment, yes I got that picture too...somewhere..About the buffalo, it entered the camp site in South Dakota one morning, at about 7am in 1973 and just stood there. My tent was about 10 to 15 feet away, and I stood about 3 to 4 feet from the bison and took pictures. That was not too smart.

...Just an add on..once when I was teaching I walked by the auditorium and two 15 year old female students were fighting over some boy. They were throwing punches and yelling at each other. So I helped to brake up that fight. (how? I grabbed one of the students who was fighting, and another teacher grabbed another and pulled them apart, and we stopped the fight) You see, lots of things I did were not so smart.
