<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 2254349, member: 74863"]I've driven across South Dakota several times. On one occasion I came up on a pick-up truck. I couldn't figure out what he had in the bed of that thing. That rancher was going as fast as I was and it took 50 miles for me to catch up to him. The closer I got the difficult it was to know what his load was. I finally got up to him and it was the head of a Buffalo. He pulled over and we got out so the kids got to touch it. Big thrill for them. It was just the head and it was in a claw foot cast iron bathtub to catch the blood. He had just shot it on his ranch a few hours ago and was heading to Rapid City to have it mounted.</p><p><br /></p><p>The horns stuck out on both sides of the truck. Biggest damn Buffalo I've ever seen and having lived in Montana, near Yellowstone National Park and not too far from a guy who made his living with trophy Elk and Buffalo, I've seen a lot of Buffalos.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was in Yellowstone on one of the boardwalks when it started to hail. Golf ball size and it hurt so we ran for the car. I stopped dead in my tracks as a Buffalo had his 2 from hoofs on the boardwalk. We got past him and made it back to the car just as the hail stopped.
