Behavior:
Bison are aggressive and will attack if you get too close. Males are more aggressive than females, but females will still attack. Sometimes if bison get spooked and are in a herd, they will stampede. I have gotten killed many, many times because they stampeded. Bison are very tough and require a strong weapon like the 7mm or Rangemaster .338, to even begin to think of taking one on, unless you are a brave person.



Callers:
Bison cannot be called at all, which is something i really dont like. However, Bison seem curious to come to other calls.

A good guide, but where'd you get the information about cinnamon teal being a mallard subspecies? That's definitely not correct.

Announcement to all, this guide will be updated in due time.
