Kahu: I was told to make myself as large as possible when I see a bear - fortunately, I have never tested this theory. I did buy a can of wasp/hornet spray - it is suppose to immobilize a 200 lb man. There is bear spray on the market but at $50.00 or more for a can, I opted for the wasp spray.

When the bison approaches, there are warnings - snorting/grunting while they are strolling. I had lots of time to get the camera and Sierra and I into the vehicle. The park rangers indicated that they will not demolish the tent or bother the campers if we stay out of their way.

Good to know Erka ..... mind you meeting a mob of sheep on a back road here can be a bit daunting. Some sheep have been known to jump onto the the car's bonnet and then off onto the road. Sheep have really sharp hoofs so you can imagine the damage that does to expensive paint work. Wayward horses are probably worse because they're large animals when they rear up and their forelimbs crash through the windshield and motorists have been known to become paraplegics after such an encounter.
