Up there in Yellowstone poor old Eugene is driving his Subaru along and sees a big ol' bull bison just standing there alongside the road peacefully chewing his cud and not looking like a threat of any kind to anyone. So, he stops, looks at his wife and says. "Here sweety, hold my latte', I want to get a selfi with that magnificent beast." Of course, he gets the snot kicked out of him by that magnificent beast, and everyone in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho starts talking about him. Saying what a stupid, ignorant moron he is for not having a clue about nature and wildlife. How he needs to go back to whatever big liberal city he came from, shut himself in his room watch Tic Toc videos and play video games, where he belongs. Before he gets himself killed.

But now you go down to Georgia and some big old 10-point whitetail gets himself trapped in the pig pen. Sure enough Buba will drive up in his old beat-up Chevy truck, take one look at that deer franticly running around in circles with his hackles up, panting and snorting, bloody from running into the side of pen and with a look in his eyes that could only be described as the devil's own. Bubba will look at his old lady and say, " Here babe, hold my beer, I'm gunna wrastle that critter. For years, people from all over the south will still be singing songs about the crazy antics of good ol' Bubba on that December day. Any bar he walks into, the crowd will cheer and call out his name. Someone will slap him on the back, hand him a cold one and ask. "You member that time you got your ass kicked by that big ol' ruttin buck back there at Dave's place?" Everyone will cheer and have a big old laugh.

Cultural difference from region to region, I guess.

To some point I agree. This guy was from Florida. We know there’s gonna be people from out of the country that get fired or trampled. Make sure you get your vote in!
 
Maybe the question is "How many tourons won't be gored by a bison?".

Back in 60's, bears at the local dump in the Adirondacks was the big entertainment. How many tourist from NYC and or NJ were going to put their kid on Yogi for a Kodak Moment?! Few light cuffs, few broken bones later, the bears retreated and all hell breaks loose. Massive gates installed with No Trespass signs. You just can't fix the Disney stupidity.

Well slap my ass and call me stupid

Getting close to dangerous animals is one of the most thrilling things one can do to liven up an otherwise mundane life. Three times I have gotten to withing 10 yards of really big bear and within a couple of feet of a small one. Unarmed each time except the one big chocolate where I was armed with my recurve stick thrower. One of those I was stalking, but didn't realize how close I was, because the brush was so thick, until I heard him taking a pee a few feet behind me. Exhilarating! I staked to within 15 yards of a big old tom cougar just to see how close I could get. I've crawled on my hands and knees searching for a cougar den in dense brush and would have done it again on another occasion, when I knew I was within only feet of a den. But my wussy co-workers stopped me. Been close enough to a cow elk to slap her on the rump but decided not to, figuring she would mule kick me into the next county if I did. Had a porcupine try to climb up my leg and a coyote, bearing his teeth and growling, so close I think I could have picked the rabbit fur out of his teeth. I love messing with rattle snakes and once let some guy in Morrocco wrap a cobra around my neck.

Called these guys in to within a few feet with a fawn bleat. They were seriously thinking about stomping my ass into the dirt. That was the highlight of my day.

Stalked this guy to within 10 yards or so to get this picture with my kodak Instamatic camera. I was going to get closer, but he turned his head, looked me in the eye and got a big old hard on. I decided I didn't want a piece of what he had in mind, but it sure was fun while it lasted.

I would never get out of my car on a highway in Yellowstone to get close to some semiwild critter because I am an introvert and would not want to make a spectacle of myself, but out in the wild I will take any opportunity to get as close to any animal as I possibly can. If you're a real hunter it's the biggest thrill you can ever have.

You all might call me stupid, that's fine, but all I can say is grow a pair and get a life. You won't regret it, unless of course, you get gored, stomped, mauled or eaten. But even then, it just might be worth it.

Had a cow elk sniff the back of my neck once. It was a pretty tense and awesome situation.
