Oh, I can only imagine the epic battles this big boy must have seen in his life. His eyes and horns almost seem to tell the tales. Being large and in charge is tough work and on this day, he opted to just lay down and chill out on a mild summer’s morning. In doing so, he gave me some nice captures up close and personal.
His splintered horn drew my attention as well. Doing some research, this apparently is not unusual. After five years of age, bison horns are fully grown and they can splinter off at the ends. This explains why I have seem some with the tips entirely missing and the horns seemingly ‘flatted’ at the end
