Description
One of my favorite buffalo shots from a visit to Custer State Park in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We found several small herds along the road, eager for you to stop so they could lick the salt from vehicle. We laughed when we spotted a parked car whose occupants must have gone hiking. I'm sure they were surprised when they returned as their vehicle was completely covered in lick marks. We moved on to avoid this group and found this lone bison not far from the road. We stopped and started to snap some photos (from the vehicle, as I don't get too close to these big boys, I respect their space). It didn't take long and he began moving towards as, he too, wanted to lick the vehicle (we were thinking it had to be the salt from the roads, not sure?) When he got too close we drove on and then turned around and came back to snap a few more shots until he again, got too close. He was persistent, I'll give him that but I did manage to get some great shots of him.
