Canadian Style Safari
Located near the Waterton Lakes park entry gate is this incredible Bison Paddock. After driving by many times, curiosity got the better part of me, and I just had to check it out for myself. So you can actually enter the paddock as long as you are in your vehicle. Surprisingly there were no staff (or cattleman or whatever you might call them) looking after this place and no entry fee, nothing. Let the safari begin. I followed this loop road which took me around the paddock perimeter. Somewhat bumpy, but I managed. Just wild that I could get so close to these beasts! Totally a surreal experience. Thanks for stopping by.

Definitely something strange no personal checking what's going on, even for your own safety... But interesting experience for sure, those are big beasts
Yes, it was unusual driving around inside the paddock, but very cool.
Thanks.
Surprising this is probably the closest realtime photo I've seen of anyone taken of a Bison. Most of the portray of these guys is that they're some of the most aggressive beasts out there. Wow, such a sight to see.
I did stay in the vehicle at all times, just rolled down the window for the pics. A wild experience it was.
What a pleasant read for lovers of open landscapes and nature's textures. Achieving that level of closeness with the bison without disturbing their peace is the true merit of a good outdoor photographer. Success.
Thanks, a zoom lens also does come in handy. Appreciate that.
