ETA: Besides, I’ve never heard of anyone getting “bisoned,” except for stupid tourists in Yellowstone or the Black Hills that think the bison are tame.

Yes, those. They’re not tame. Accustomed to human presence, yes, but not tame. Get close enough to one to trigger its ‘fight or flight’ mechanism and you’d better pray to numerous gods it picks flight. Usually it will pick flight, but not always and the alternative really sucks for you.
