Wild West
This wild frontier has been forged by the elements and built by monumental forces. Over millennia America's most iconic landscapes have been carved out; wind sculpted deserts, like Death Valley and the Grand Canyon; giant redwood forests fed by precious waters; and extreme coastlines - from the wave sculpted shores of the pacific to the warm sheltered sea of cortex. Nowhere in America is more extreme, more varied and more spectacular than the Wild West.

I like how they are fighting out a very important battle for mating rights and the rest of the herd couldn't care less

I once had the pleasure of seeing bison just before a rut live on a preserve. They are simply enormous creatures, video doesn't do them justice. I remember seeing a lone bison lying in the forest, away from the herd, and our tour guide explained that that's how very old males spend their time during the rut. They can't fight anymore, so they rest.

These creatures are so massive. I mean look at the dust falling of them while they fight looks pretty damn badass.

Worked on a bison ranch in Wyoming for eight years 2008 to 2016. We were out feeding the bison in winter and two of tge biggest bulls started going at it. We stopped the tractor and hay wagon and sat on the hay to watch. Just as shown in this video the bulls went at it...the horns clicked and tufts of hair went flying. The younger bison got excited and gathered around as though watching a prize fight. Eventually one bull broke off but they both looked beat walking away with their tongues hanging down to the ground.

BISON are awesome animals .
