Motorcyclists encounter herds of Buffalo just outside of Custer Park in South Dakota. Hope you enjoy the video, and stay safe while adventuring in Nature!!
Hey Everyone - I’m not very techie - I’m sorry I missed all these comments! There sure are A Lot of Great people out there… I am just now learning how to reply to comments and add more content to this channel! Woo hoo wish me luck! 😊 PS I really do believe in the power of prayer… 🙏👍🏍️🦬 Why wouldn’t I! I’ve had a few close encounters that I’ve survived! PTL 😯👏🙏
I could barely breathe, watching this. My husband and I motorcycled through areas with bison, but nothing like this. You were amazing ... courageous ! So vulnerable on bikes.
Awesome video! So Thankful that The Lord kept y'all safe! Your sweet tender voice when praying and talking to the Buffalo touched my heart! Thx for sharing and calling on the one that kept you safe!
Finally, intelligent visitors who pay attention to the signs. Probably the best thing you did was to remain motionless. Scared? Hell yes, I would have been too but you both did an incredible job of "trying" to remain calm.
Intelligent visitors wouldn’t attempt this idiocracy????This video has those same vibes as the videos of people messing with moose or bears when they are stuck in deep snow, they just got caught with they ass hanging out this time, “Lucky” I believe is the word to describe this video🤷🏽?
I have been in this situation. The buffalo just walk by you. They are on a mission. Just be alert and don't challenge them. If they cross the road, just yield until they get across. No worries.
@@chaskehoyt6096 I don't believe these people were doing anything uther than sight seeing on their motorcycle in that great park when they came upon these wonderful beasts and got to see Mother Nature at her best. Also these people were smart to stop and stay calm and don't stare. To some animals making eye contact is a form of agression(I think).
@@dorisjackson618Awe THANK YOU- You are Right On on what happened! Absolutely not our intentions to encounter Buffalo- which I’m Now aware Are Bison! I love pictures- It’s How I Remember Things! Plus I’ve told my only Daughter (I have 4 Sons & 1 daughter #5) When I die- Check My Phone… It’ll either be obvious or She Might have be a Sleuth… But There Will Be a Picture! 📸 So that’s the Reason WHY I was videoing- though At The Beginning- I was Just EXCITED & Trying to take pictures for Fun! Did this long story/comment make sense - lol😂 PS thanks for your perspective-kind-Comment!
You guys did great! You didn't panic, didn't do anything stupid like try to get a selfie, lol!! Your prize for being so composed is an awesome video and the memory of a lifetime!
Had the exact same thing happen to me on my bike. In my case it was earlier in the year and the calves were younger, but the cows did a great job of positioning themselves between me/bike and their calves. I did not move a muscle the entire time. They all passed without incident and it was an incredible experience, but for me, one time was enough!
Until white settlers and the US army chose to attack and destroy any bison they could in mass to sabotage the indigenous people. They slaughtered them in the tens of thousands and left them to rot in the plains. We would have millions still just like deer. Look it up bison were killed in mass to stop the indigenous food source so the natives couldn’t continue thriving
I loved the girls prayers. This must have been so scary on a motorcycle. They just kept coming and coming. Great video. Glad the good Lord kept you safe.
Pretty cool. I was on a mountain bike near the bluebird lodge/cabins in about 1990. Two bulls up ahead, on the road, herd behind. I went off road, through a creek, up a hill, found another herd. Back down to the road. Just stood there and thanks to a beneficent power, along came a truck towing a hay wagon with visitors. I rode on one side of the wagon while the bulls were on the other side. That was beer worthy. Really cool and great memories.
I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of that with you it made me feel like I was right there so glad he kept you safe and gave you a bird's-eye view Blessings 🙏🏼to you and thank you for sharing this magnificent herd of bison🐂👍🏼💘
I ride through there frequently with a plan that if I see them on the road, I will turn around and exit the park. Cool footage. That would have been very intimidating.
I have been in the middle of them many times on my bike. I live two miles from the Park. Even had one charge my husband on his bike. I would not want a hundred buffalo running towards me on a two lane road like this. You were just damn lucky.
Honestly, as someone that has studied animal behaviors for years... You did everything almost perfectly. GOOD FREAKING JOB. "don't look at them" is spot on. Maybe be a little less noisy, This video made my day. Thank you
@@rhymereason3449 They think God will reward them in heaven if they always give him credit for everything. They're so dumb. It's just the grownup version of believing that if you're good and nice, Santa Claus will bring you presents at Christmas.
WOW ! COOLEST VIDEO I EVER SEEN WITH BUFFALOS, fricking amazing. The Lord did protect you all ! I'm so glad you all made it through it without panicking.
Wow is right! It looks like you had the bike engine turned off and that you both stayed calm, no fast movements. Maybe that's why they avoided you and were safe. Think I would have needed a pit stop afterwards. The best part is, if people don't believe you, you have the video to prove it. Also you may want to name your bike the "Enterprise", as the shield had to be up.
It is funny but I grew up watching Star Trek but the first thing I think of when I hear "Enterprise" is a Naval ship specifically an aircraft carrier. My father helped build the USS Enterprise CVAN-65 and saw in launch before I was born but he said that the US Navy will always have a ship named the Enterprise. The name "Enterprise" predates that particular vessel of course, so historically speaking, it was a great name for the writers to choose for the space craft. It would be a cool name for a motorcycle. It is unbelievable. They came so close.
No luck whatsoever, and I’m sure they realize that.😉 The Lord absolutely protected them during that incredible experience! “But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.” (Psalm 3:3)
Buffalo are beautiful creatures I'm so glad you guys were safe, Ballsy but safe for us to share what you experienced 😊 👍. Some of those Bulls looked pretty intimidating and scary 😨 😉👍👏👏👏
@@rogercampbell1904 Why do you despise indians so much to disrespect their heratige? They are buffalo and a man is a man even if he claims he's a woman.
WOW! So many big fluffy cows! My husband and I were in the Black Hills a couple of weeks ago, and were happy to be in a car most of the times we saw bison. We accidentally got within about 10 yards of one when we were hiking, and just being that close to one out in the open made me nervous.
Please, please, please don’t think of these wild animals as cows. They are much more dangerous than domestic cows. And even cows that don’t know you are dangerous and will chase you out of their pasture.
Big fluffy cows?? 😂😂😂I seen horns LOL lots and LOTS of HORNS coming at the camera which had a human behind it LOL. And yes I would have been off the motorcycle LOL you would have found me at the TOP of the nearest biggest tree LOL
@@superstarcat7654 It was a joke. We saw lots of T-shirts in South Dakota that said, "Don't pet the fluffy cows". It's hard to believe that people have to be told to not get close to bison, but I've seen RUclips videos where people deliberately approached them to get pictures.
Thank you for sharing your video! You were so restrained and respectful of nature when luck placed you in a tricky situation. You were blessed with a beautiful experience without injury
This happened to me some years ago. Coming back from breakfast in Hot Springs, came around the corner, and a whole herd was just crossing in front of me. I was on my KZ 750 with a Kerker exhaust, which is a bit loud...so I shut it down & just sat there. They came by without a problem. Magnificent animals. I love that part of the country.
It appeared to be mostly mothers with their calves, Although, I wasn’t there to see it in person ….I did see a lot of calves. That was wise to stay on the bike and not antagonize them.
What an incredible experience! My husband and I were there, probably on that same road, a year ago, but we didn't see any on the road. We did see buffalo grazing in fields however and that was incredible as well.
What a treat for you guys to see that so up close and personal! Incredible beasts! I would have been nervous as well, but you kept cool. The sound of their hooves on the roadway!!! ❤️
this little gal was so thankful to the Lord for this blessing and Then she was asking for God's protection,..bless her heart! I could tell that she was terrified a few times but she did the right thing in believing in prayers!💖
Wow, it is amazing how well behaved the buffaloes were! Now think of 150-200 yeaes back, when Natives and settlers had to cross herds that counted by the millions!
Yes until the colonial settlers committed mass slaughtering to attempt to sabotage the native Americans way of living, horrific stuff if you dig into the history of buffalo in the US, it’s not by accident they disappeared and it’s not by just “normal hunting” etc. Settlers essentially committed an attempted animal species genocide and were 90% successful. They knew it was the way to destroy the native food source and way of life and so they slaughtered them in mass and left them to rot in the plains
Wonderful that you heed the warnings. A couple of years ago a lady didn't and got slung around like a ragdoll when she approached a baby calf. She was badly injured and was very fortunate that the mama cow didn't kill her.
They are vegetarians unlike lions for example. So, you should not expect them to necessarily attack because they are aggressive, having said that-yes, they are natural beasts and very powerful.
Go look at the video of red van impaled at Yellowstone! Went through the door and made a reverse dent on the inside near the locking mechanism! Just like anything else... they will defend themselves and family if feeling threatened.
With that many calves in the herd, you can expect anything. Moms often get over protective of their young, and can imagine threats towards their young. Bulls also can be protective of their "ladies". This couple did the best thing possible by remaining still and calm and quiet. Also do not stare at them, as they can take that as a challenge.
Thank u for a most beautiful vid of these fascinating creatures. U guys did a great job of filming them. After the vid ended I was hoping y'all got outta there unscathed. So scarey.
We were there a few years ago to see the Crazy Horse Monument. I would have had a coronary. End of story! Thanks for sharing your adventure. I loved it.
WOW! This would be an incredible experience! They did good staying on the bike but the lady couldn't stop talking! Omgosh just be quiet & still. That was so many Bison/Buffalo.
I am so glad you got to see this and were not harmed. We don't have great memories from Custer State Park as that is where we crashed in a hot air balloon. After we crashed, a huge bison came in to check out the balloon. That was about as terrifying as the crash! Thankfully, we were rescued 2 hours later but a grandfather and grandson who ran a helicopter sight seeing business. We are so thankful that our injuries were not fatal.
My wife and I were on the Harley in Yellowstone at 5:00am in the morning riding over to another lodge to get breakfast and it was foggy and still dark. All of a sudden we came up on a herd of buffalo in the road and all around us. We just sat there for a while engine idling and the only thing to do was start walking the bike slowly with the buffalo and then they all started to move with us and go past us and then they all started to run and turned and ran into a field. It was a an experience that raised the hair on your arms.
Yeah, this is why I drive a car through the park (well, that and the fact that I don't have a bike). Amazing footage, but I totally sympathize with "I'm scared." I don't see how you could be anything else with a 1000 lb animal running right at you! I'm no expert, but you did what I would have done in your shoes and it all worked out fine, so Good Job! I think it also helps that the herd at Custer State Park deal with vehicles pretty much all the time, so as long as you don't surprise them, they'll treat you like part of the landscape. Last winter we drove through, on to Wind Cave National Park and at the border between the two, we had a couple of buffalo come up and lick the road salt off our car. Phenomenal!
Awesome video, my wife and I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota 23 miles from Custer. We have come across a lot of Bison on our bikes but not that many. Are scariest event happened in Yellowstone a sow and her three cubs were coming straight at us down the middle of the road in a full blown traffic jam. With nowhere to go we did the same thing, turned our engines off, prayed and remained calm as we could. When she got within two vehicles away she went off to the shoulder of the road and up the hill into the trees. I was definitely scared at what could have happened.
And what if that encounter was with a mother bear? Bikers have no protection at all, just way too dangerous! but I'm glad you were not hurt, I know you were scared!
Yes someone is thinking clearly. Bears & Buffalo will charge you & possibly Big Horn Sheep, if you are on a motorcycle. Your chances are probably way better in a vehicle, but man you are taking life risks not knowing your surroundings and depending on gods prayers when you find yourself in that situation that they made a Conscience decision, man I was waiting for the attack 🙏🏽🤷🏽🤣😆 What is it they say in the news now? “Play stupid games receive stupid prizes”
The Buffalo are a people of their word unlike the us government. keeping the peace treaty is just something they strive for. And everyone knows the buffalo is a motorcycle fanatic especially the Indian brand. Respect.
"i prayed to see buffalo" god is amazing to us all . always giving more then you could have asked for. lord we thank you for answering this ladies request by putting her in the middle of a large heard and keping them safe. she will have stories and a video of your gracious kindness bonevolence and warmth forever amen.
Glad you are ok. Also cool you had that experience one many will never have. This is the result of proper wildlife management. Roads taken over by bison. Thank God for buffalo bill calling for the protection of the last 500. Came really close to extinction.
I was in Yellowstone Park on a snowmobile about 30 odd years ago...another female friend was also touring with me and we had a guide on their snowmobile...we went right by the Bison but my snowmobile went off the road into the ditch right by them. I had been told they were not dangerous but I sure felt insecure, my friend stopped her vehicle and helped me drag mine out of the ditch and off we went....this was b4 I ever heard about any of them mauling people....I guess we were both in a bit of danger and I thank God I had such a generous companion who helped me despite the risk to herself!
Good public service video...I am glad you respected the buffalo and the creator who makes all things possible, because in an instant it could have changed terribly..but your prayers saved you and allowed you the opportunity to do good and give sound advice.
God sure did bless you, so if He blessed you He will also protect you. 😁 love your prayers. I too pray like that and have experienced His protection while He is blessing. God loves a heart of gratitude. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. I was blessed both watching and listening. 😇🤩
Yeah Be careful what you pray for ! Thanks for sharing that Outstanding video. And yes , I am thankful you were not harmed . Seems like some of the most Beautiful and exciting things in nature can be dangerous. But applying a little common sense and selfcontrol we can still enjoy everything nature has to offer 👍
wow that’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that you’s have received and so be thankful that the buffalo allowed you to be that close to them as it’s always an honor when animal allows any human being to be that close to them in their own habitat!! ❤️❤️💯❤️❤️
As a former motorcyclist and someone who did wildlife fieldwork at the National Bison Refuge, this was scary. Thank you, Lord, for hearing her prayers of "Thank you, Lord, for protecting us!" Several times we could see the bike's fairing in the foreground so we know the bison were literally right next to them. And to see several groups of them stampeding right toward them! This couple was truly blessed to see their prayers answered so dramatically!
They actually did that extremely well the best thing they did was turn off the bike, whisper and not move. a herd of animals will go around you unless their in a stampede best thing to do is just hold still don't speak loud don't make fast movements bovine act like bovine. personally I would have left the bike and gone up the embankment and got behind some trees when they first started coming towards me but then I worked with Buffalo when I worked for a veterinarian in North Dakota they did the second-best thing they could have done. They are very lucky they just passed

I guess they think of your motorcycle as a shiny rock. Not a threat unless you get off.
That was amazing. And I loved hearing your prayers of gratitude and for protection. Thank You Lord.
Yes - Praise God 🙏👏 🧡
That's one of the most beautiful sound I am hearing, the sound of their hooves hitting ground. I can imagine when there were more back in the 1800's
Thanks for your likes really.
Thunder across the plains. We'll never see that again.

Hearing her pray was great. Good job. Praying makes on surrender to what is. Spirit will then step in and be of assistance.
My wife and I were on the Harley in Yellowstone at 5:00am in the morning riding over to another lodge to get breakfast and it was foggy and still dark. All of a sudden we came up on a herd of buffalo in the road and all around us. We just sat there for a while engine idling and the only thing to do was start walking the bike slowly with the buffalo and then they all started to move with us and go past us and then they all started to run and turned and ran into a field. It was a an experience that raised the hair on your arms.
Indeed! Thanks for sharing.
I held my breath for the whole video. 🤪
Glad you two weren't hurt!
Same thing happened to us in Yellowstone / road was blocked for hrs . One Buffalo cam up to the car & rocked us rather roughly ; that was scary !
Yeah, this is why I drive a car through the park (well, that and the fact that I don't have a bike). Amazing footage, but I totally sympathize with "I'm scared." I don't see how you could be anything else with a 1000 lb animal running right at you! I'm no expert, but you did what I would have done in your shoes and it all worked out fine, so Good Job! I think it also helps that the herd at Custer State Park deal with vehicles pretty much all the time, so as long as you don't surprise them, they'll treat you like part of the landscape. Last winter we drove through, on to Wind Cave National Park and at the border between the two, we had a couple of buffalo come up and lick the road salt off our car. Phenomenal!
OMG...on a MOTORCYCLE????
I wouldn't have been able to handle that...I could barely handle it just watching it while I was in my bed, safe, at home. 😳
You asked to see bison. Ask and you shall receive. 😄God is good.
Awesome video, my wife and I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota 23 miles from Custer. We have come across a lot of Bison on our bikes but not that many. Are scariest event happened in Yellowstone a sow and her three cubs were coming straight at us down the middle of the road in a full blown traffic jam. With nowhere to go we did the same thing, turned our engines off, prayed and remained calm as we could. When she got within two vehicles away she went off to the shoulder of the road and up the hill into the trees. I was definitely scared at what could have happened.
Wow!!!! When I get to finally experience that, I hope my 360 camera captures it all. You two were amazingly blessed.
Were you on Wildlife Loop Road?
And what if that encounter was with a mother bear? Bikers have no protection at all, just way too dangerous! but I'm glad you were not hurt, I know you were scared!
We don’t have bear in The Black Hills.
Yes someone is thinking clearly. Bears & Buffalo will charge you & possibly Big Horn Sheep, if you are on a motorcycle. Your chances are probably way better in a vehicle, but man you are taking life risks not knowing your surroundings and depending on gods prayers when you find yourself in that situation that they made a Conscience decision, man I was waiting for the attack 🙏🏽🤷🏽🤣😆 What is it they say in the news now? “Play stupid games receive stupid prizes”
@@tugaroocrab Yes there is and I live out here.
I treasure hearing you praise the Lord and pray on the video. 😍
Was holding my breath at times ! Amazing!
Now you got a glipse of what Mufasa felt in that tragic day in the savanna.
If you stay calm & don't do anything they will leave you be. I knew this growing up here in South Dakota, you give them respect & their space.
The Buffalo are a people of their word unlike the us government. keeping the peace treaty is just something they strive for. And everyone knows the buffalo is a motorcycle fanatic especially the Indian brand. Respect.
You guys were awesome. Thank you Lord, keep us safe. Beautiful.
Great close-up, non-interfering video! Ty! Very interesting to see!
"i prayed to see buffalo" god is amazing to us all . always giving more then you could have asked for. lord we thank you for answering this ladies request by putting her in the middle of a large heard and keping them safe. she will have stories and a video of your gracious kindness bonevolence and warmth forever amen.
Glad you are ok. Also cool you had that experience one many will never have. This is the result of proper wildlife management. Roads taken over by bison. Thank God for buffalo bill calling for the protection of the last 500. Came really close to extinction.
This is the most awesome video ever. I love Buffalo s they are the most majestic animals ever.
That was Amazing to see. So glad you are safe and shared.
Bike riders, you're in their world now! Respect it.
That's awesome! I loved the video! The bison being that close had to be awe inspiring.
I love how she’s thanking God.
I was in Yellowstone Park on a snowmobile about 30 odd years ago...another female friend was also touring with me and we had a guide on their snowmobile...we went right by the Bison but my snowmobile went off the road into the ditch right by them. I had been told they were not dangerous but I sure felt insecure, my friend stopped her vehicle and helped me drag mine out of the ditch and off we went....this was b4 I ever heard about any of them mauling people....I guess we were both in a bit of danger and I thank God I had such a generous companion who helped me despite the risk to herself!
Good public service video...I am glad you respected the buffalo and the creator who makes all things possible, because in an instant it could have changed terribly..but your prayers saved you and allowed you the opportunity to do good and give sound advice.
Wow!! That was So Awesome. Buffalo are very Impressive and Majestic Creatures!! 😍 🦬💞🦬
Amazing video. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! What an awesome experience! God is good! He sent you bison and no one got hurt! I have to check this park out.
Been there. Beautiful. Tourists don’t appreciate the danger. Watch from a distance.
God sure did bless you, so if He blessed you He will also protect you. 😁 love your prayers. I too pray like that and have experienced His protection while He is blessing. God loves a heart of gratitude. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. I was blessed both watching and listening. 😇🤩
Gag me with a spoon! There's more BULL here than on that road!
Yeah
Be careful what you pray for !
Thanks for sharing that Outstanding video.
And yes , I am thankful you were not harmed .
Seems like some of the most Beautiful and exciting things in nature can be dangerous.
But applying a little common sense and selfcontrol we can still enjoy everything nature has to offer 👍
Was praying with you guys..even though in the past. God is Absolutely Good
Lovely! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for sharing your amazing video.
Just amazing!! I’m glad I’m not the only one who prays like that!! 😂😂😂
You guy's were very lucky that day indeed. Thank you for sharing this dangerous but also exciting video
wow that’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that you’s have received and so be thankful that the buffalo allowed you to be that close to them as it’s always an honor when animal allows any human being to be that close to them in their own habitat!! ❤️❤️💯❤️❤️
Amazing, I felt for you, it looked scary as hell and exciting at the same time, lovely presentation thanks, Salford uk
Ha, ha, ha...the spirit of George Armstrong Custer lives on in tourists to this day...lol
I pooped my pants just watching this, these guys had you know what made of steel.
You guys played it very cool and calm! Well done! You got a front row seat to a part of Americana!
As a former motorcyclist and someone who did wildlife fieldwork at the National Bison Refuge, this was scary. Thank you, Lord, for hearing her prayers of "Thank you, Lord, for protecting us!" Several times we could see the bike's fairing in the foreground so we know the bison were literally right next to them. And to see several groups of them stampeding right toward them! This couple was truly blessed to see their prayers answered so dramatically!
Incredible! Buffalo thanks you for your respect 💕
What a great video. Beautiful. You did great staying calm.
They actually did that extremely well the best thing they did was turn off the bike, whisper and not move. a herd of animals will go around you unless their in a stampede best thing to do is just hold still don't speak loud don't make fast movements bovine act like bovine. personally I would have left the bike and gone up the embankment and got behind some trees when they first started coming towards me but then I worked with Buffalo when I worked for a veterinarian in North Dakota they did the second-best thing they could have done. They are very lucky they just passed
