This time it was
Custer State Parkin South Dakota.
The article says she and her friend gave the buff 100 yards or so distance.
Wifey and I spent several days there in 2017. We basically fell in love with the place. Saw plenty of critters, including Buffalo there and at Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. Stayed alert and gave them space, and had no problems.
Would love to get back out there and revisit the LBH Battleground as well.

She watched too many Disney movies. You don't get to skip along with the happy animals.....you get to be gored by the happy animals....

It happened June 16 according to another article. Her friend said they 1st saw the buffalo were on a hill at least 100 yds away. They were trying to avoid them when the bull ran down the hill toward them. It stopped very close to them for a moment and then attacked. This one might not be so much an idiot tourist but rather a dangerous animal demonstrating why they're called a dangerous animal.

yep

Touron's at best

That’s no joke. If every Yellowstone visitor who got within 100 yards of a 🦬 got stomped, there would be no Asian tourists left.

Walking a dog that resembles a wolf probably had nothing to do with it... they decided to not turn back when seeing the herd, advanced and tried to skirt it.

Closest encounter I had was at Roosevelt, big bull probably 35 yards away.
He ignored me, I was studying concretion cannonballs, and kept one eye on that buff, and consciously kept a big assed boulder handy should he approach.
He finally wondered out the path to the parking lot and headed across the road.
If this bull came after these girls from 100 yards, it sounds like he had an attitude problem. Don’t know what might have upset him. Unfortunate, especially for the young lady.

If that dog was worth a crap it would have been nipping the heels of that buffler and distracting it as it charged up to her.

POS dimocrap dog.

This pit is just dumb.

This shows a guy who got gored trying to save a kid.

Do the girls know how far 100 yrds is ? Seems to me they were closer. Sounds like the Bull got there pretty quick.

That bull walked through that cloud of (I assume) pepper or bear spay without so much as a shrug!
It pays to be aware of your surroundings, be it a Park with wild critters or a crowd of people. A little common sense and foresight goes a helluva long way, in all sorts of situations.

Mess with the bull........you know the rest.
Sorry this girl had to pay such a high price, but you can't be mad at a bison for being a bison.

The buffalo rut generally runs from June to Sept. This one might have been hormonal and trying to get in some early head butting.

The season is still open, it's a target rich environment, and there's no bag limit.

Some have no idea of distance, 100 yards could be 40 or 50 yards, for all we know.

Buff was probably a fire member , decided he’d hit that 😀

Had a picnic with this fella in Yellowstone. It was hot as hell that day he wasn’t moving.

YUP...
