I had it at six initially, but after another watch agree it's top 5, narrowly edging out The Revenge of Old One-Horn in 1891.


The Hornswoggle Stampede of 1875 remains the GOAT.

                    It always makes me laugh how these idiots think they are safe because they have a camera.

  • I’m going there but I like it here wherever it is
The old prospector and his grandchild triggered the bison when they were taking photos. Same thing with orangutans. If you see one approaching, don't make eye contact. Leave the area if possible. And certainly don't stare the animal down to take stupid photos. People need to stay away from wild animals. They are wild. Don't try to pet them and don't take selfies with them.

This advice surely would have prevented The Bison Buffaloing at Broken Jaw Butte, 1883, widely considered #3 on the Top-5 Bison attack list.

I was fishing upstate at a pond just adjacent to my property that I guess I technically wasn't supposed to be there, but I don’t think the owner probably would have cared about 11 year old boys fishing.

Unbeknownst to me all the cows just start showing up to drink. The pond was mostly covered by forest so they were close to me and blocking the exit.

I didn’t go and try to pet them, I was afraid. I ran into the woods like a rabbit trying to run to safety from a predator.

They walked close to the edge where the forest began and they just looked at me like the pussy I appeared to be.

Social media all but killed Bison Lore.

Fortunately, there are scribes who have been continuing to compile historical data from word of mouth stories, old ledgers and manuscripts, and Red Dead Redemption.
