Stupid Tourist Tricks
It's off to a fast start already this year! A list of incidents involving people trying to obtain the coveted Darwin Award. I will keep you up to date of all the stupid tourist tricks. This yesterday: We thought it was cold! (this is a first) http://www.ktvq.com/story/31975424/y...ed-it-was-cold How this lady lived and was not gored is beyond me: Buy a Powerball ticket lady: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfk1O9_quxs This from last week: Amazing no one got taken out: http://www.krtv.com/story/31915893/v...nal-park-video Much of the time, this is what happens: Fat guy vs Bison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNvTHOrTf_Y At this rate, it should be a record year for goring incidents, Chinese tourists seem particularly clueless. So far no goring's, but it's coming. If you have any from your area, post them up. Last edited by Bwana; 06-08-2016 at 06:56 AM.. |

Yeah you're right Dave. There was a story a couple of years ago of some bison that wondered out and got burned badly. There were some nasty looking pictures to go along with the story. If I remember correctly they ended up putting a few down because of the 3rd degree burns.

That's because natural survival instincts outweigh human curiosity. An Elk doesn't give **** all about how interesting the springs look. He just recognizes it's abnormal and nopes the hell out of there.

It was always the worst going to fish the Lamar from the north entrance. All the cars stop for the first buffalo they see and spend about 20 minutes parked taking pictures, only to find out there are hundreds more 15 more miles down the road. I'm going back to visit again this summer the week of the 4th of July. I'm dreading the drive through the park-especially that week. If I didn't have a friend coming with me thats never been there's no way I would go anywhere close to the park.

http://www.ktvq.com/story/32101790/w...nal-park-video YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK - Staying a safe distance from wildlife is not only the law, it's the smart thing to do. Wild animals are dangerous, as shown in this video posted by REBOOT. Last weekend in Yellowstone National Park, wildlife guide Jody Tibbitts caught a video of an elk that got fed up with a woman who got just a little too close. According to Tibbitts, they pulled up to view an elk on the side of the road near West Thumb and saw a woman walking very close to the elk. You can hear Tibbitts in the video warning her to back away, but before you know it the elk charges the woman and she stumbles backward and falls. Fortunately, the woman didn't appear hurt. Tibbitts then calls out to tell the woman that he was about to remind her that park regulations require visitors to stay at least 25 yards away from wild animals. "It won't happen again!" she replied. "I bet it won't!" Tibbitts said. |
