When I was on open range @ the Niobrara Wildlife Refuge 200 yards between me and any
bison was more than close enough .... although I did walk on a heard of them by accident
and I was about 30' from them ... I backed away slowly until I was out of sight of them and
then I turned and jogged for about 1/4 of mile.
