2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

American bison, Antelope Island State Park, Utah, United States of America
100 Mile Championship Riders Galloping with Free-Ranging Bison on Antelope Island, Salt Lake City, UT

Species: American bison | Location: Antelope Island State Park, Utah, United States of America

While judging the American Endurance Ride Conference 100-Mile National Championships on Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake, Utah, I took this photo from my moving car's sunroof of two leading riders as they passed between free-ranging bison. Observing horses and riders react to herds of wild bison was so exciting. The bison seemed to react with mild curiosity.
