Well, that didn't take long.

We are barely into the beginning of Wyoming's 2025 tourist season, and a bison has already gored a tourist.

AND IT'S A FLORIDA MAN! - (You write your own jokes).

He's not dead.

The man, I mean. The Bison is fine.

It's a typical story.

The touron - um - tourist got too close to the comfort zone of the big beast, and the animal felt threatened.

The man was checked for injuries and found to be a bit bruised and beaten up, but he's okay.

This is about the worst time to get close to big male bison.

This is their rutting season.

TRANSLATION: The ladies are ready for some action, and the boys are feeling it.

Male bison are ready to fend off other bison males that might be competition, and they will also run off any other creatures that get into their personal space.

Picture them like a guy in a bar who went in to score with a woman, has had too much to drink, and now wants to fight anything he sees.

YEAH - that's where the bison are at right about now.

SO STAY CLEAR!

It's not like we haven't warned these people.

There are literally signs all over Yellowstone, and the park hands out flyers.

Okay, so let's review so far for this year.

BISON - 1

Tourist - 0

The tourists continue their losing streak, with not one human having won a match against a bison.

This year is not getting off to a good start for the humans.

Now taking bets on how many will be gored by the end of the season.
