 These aren't what I'd call wild, but wasn't sure where to place them. From a registered herd near Memphis.

Very, very nice, Jim!  They used to have a place here called, "Buffalo Crossing".  It was a bison ranch and restaurant that served bison in just about any form you could imagine.  They closed about 2 years ago, sadly.  I used to really like that place. 

They may not be exactly classified as "wild", but they sure don't look tame to me!  Great photos of them.

 I've never eaten bison but figured it would be a lot like beef. Maybe darker. Never heard anyone say it "tastes like chicken". 

They look smaller than I would have expected....But it is probably my computer.

Great pictures, Did he try to charge you at all, I have heard they do that.

They didn't seem bothered by me Judy, but I was a good distance from them. Really they seemed rather docile but I didn't want to rile them. I can't run near as fast as in my youth. 

Those bison may be behind a fence, but they're always wild, and it takes a real good fence to keep them in one place. I've observed them inside the National Bison Range at Moise, Montana, on numerous occasions.  They have a number of bison that they keep in a display pasture.  They'll hang out by the fence hoping to catch a person not wary of what they are capable of doing.  They're big, powerful and fast!

They are amazingly fast, and their size makes them powerful. I'm no bison expert, but I am very adept at knowing my own physical limitations.     

They may not be considered wild, but I sure wouldn't mess with them!
I love bison meat.  Ever tried it with sloppy joe mix?  Yum!
Nice shots, Jim
