Remember this big bugger?

[Rock Doctor]

Well, I got to work yesterday, and went for a walk around the Station. This guy damn near frightened the crap out of me. I didn't notice him by the edge of the treeas untill I was about 20 ft away from him. His name is Brutus and he has been visiting our remote Station here every summer since 2000. He was rumored to have been hit by a truck last winter, so I really wasn't expecting to see him

What a huge beast! I like the way you name the animals you know of. My family and I are just finishing off "Frank" from last summer. I'm beginning to plan a trip to come back up for another moose.

so, R.D how are the bugs so far up there this spring? lol

cool video!!!

It would suck to have a tail that short.

[Bow Walker]

Ya know, for as big as he is (appears) it seems that his horns are a bit on the smallish side.

Of course it could be that I am just not familiar with bison and/or, that his head is so big as to make the horns just look smallish.

Cool looking animal none the less. Thanks for the update.

He is so big and front heavy he looks like he will tip forward onto his face at any minute

Not to hijack, but here is another big buffalo from up below the Liard river bridge, from two years ago. My truck is an f-150 and we are NOT pulled over, so we are about 8-10 feet from this guy. His horns look small but they were broke off the size of popcans, no joke.

Awesome footage, thanks.

Brutus is a good name for him, he is a brute.

A fitting name, thanks for posting. Bugs look bad up there!

[kennyj]

Awesome video. That is one amazing animal. The second photo shows just how big Brutis is by comparison. He still looks healthy, hopefully we,ll see more of him.

You'll have to trust me, he's big.
Look at the difference between this one and the one BW poasted.

He's a Big Bugger allright RD. Cool vid..Can't believe the ol' bugger is still batching..Must have been beat up and pushed out.:?.

[Rock Doctor]

I got a comment from a guy that raises Bison, and he figures that Brutus is between 20-24yrs old.

[BlacktailStalker]

I would imagine they would age a bit faster being wild than farm fed.
