Bison (animal)
Bison are migratory herd animals common to grasslands and lightly wooded areas. They primarily feed on low plantlife, such as grass and lichen, but are known to eat large bushes. Bison are quite powerful, easily able to out run a man, and strong enough to make fighting hand to hand foolhearty. Bison are also known to have uneven tempermants, going from calm to ferocious in a flash regardless of your actions towards them, so travelers often steer clear of their herd
The small herd of bison that we've tracked across the vast expanse of grassland has finally slowed their march and begun grazing and wallowing amidst exposed topsoil thats deepend around their forms. Each of us has spread out into the fields surrounding the bison; my companions have prepared fires that they will light to block off escape routes while I aim my
long range weapondown upon the exposed side of the bison closest to me. One shot will not be enough to take it down, but we need to separate it from the rest of the herd to make sure they do not run us down before the kill. The roar of thunder from across the horizon frightens some of the younger beasts, and if we don't act soon they'll be on the move again before the coming storm arrives.
