One year ago NBC Montana's Deion Broxton went viral after bison tweet

You've seen NBC Montana reporter Deion Broxton's stories for the last couple of years.

On Wednesday, he went to Yellowstone National Park to report on the COVID-19 shutdown, but look at what happened when a herd of bison caught his eye.

Broxton's camera was rolling as he was recording his stand-up, so he tweeted out the video.

Broxton's Tweet has received over 7.7 million views and over 320,000 retweets and is still growing.
He was retweeted by many celebrities, one being his namesake Deion Sanders.

The one time a guy was filmed NOT messing with a bison.

The funniest part to me is that he doesn’t just walk off screen before the clip ends. He follows up on his commitment to not messing with a bison by immediately grabbing his camera and shoving it in his car. 😂
This man will live another hundred years through the sheer power of his Common Sense.

Legend say he still hasnt messed with any Bison

[scottplshelp]

Man this is some wholesome content. His professional self vs. his "I'm being stared down by a bison right now" self was like, "Just don't use profanity on camera and get outta here right now."

[davidcutwater]

I understand that he doesn't want to be known as the "Bison guy"...but dang that was so good.

[EvelParti]

I love that he is a reporter who doesn't talk in that annoying reporter accent.

[georom]

This is the correct way to respond to bison

[marting]

sincerity is always charming. he was not gonna mess with that bison and thats for real.

[fredlockett]

This is the funniest shit I've seen, I couldn't stop laughing and the camera man wasn't paying attention and when he did that camera angle turned up side down as he got the hell out of there also😂

From what I understand Deion got an Iowa Journalism Award because of this incident. Funny stuff. I like the interview of him saying that he wasn't going to be the next victim of a bison attack. Mentioning the idiot woman who got attacked and lost her pants and then the idiot guy taunting a bison on the road.

He got real REAL fast.

Love the self talk.

Classic.

[guysevedz]

That was real journalism and it made my week

[arogers]

90% will react that way. We always see those who wants to pet it and what a cute Bison.

Me: being a janitor is the best
Also me when i have to clean a toilet and a trash can filled with shit:

[FATMANYOU]

Yea, a real brother here! NOPE I ain't messing with you, not today satan😂😂😂

[disappearintothesea]

Sometimes it’s ok to know when you need to fold

[sugar]

At least he wasn't trying to get a selfie with it😂😂😂😂 noooo!

[strawberryjam]

Very wise decision on his part but that look on his face was priceless 😂

[dushooter]

Having this moment follow you may get annoying....but folks will remember how it made them happy. It's just like Christopher Walken and the SNL cow bell skit. Even years later he may be annoyed by it... but will always be the funny legacy. Thank you for what you do.

Now if he were white he'd go up to the bison and say... Hi mister 2000 pound bison how was your day do you want to take some pictures?
