Gitty-Up Bison: Finale

The Bison had there own ideas, and after being run up the hill (we later found out that this was part of the 'show'), they refused to turn. 

So the 'Modern Cavalry' was called in along with horseback reinforcements, after the Bison charged the lone Cowboy at the top of the Hill.

Eventually the Bison were convinced to move on by the Pick-ups.  

Keep in mind, they could turn over a pickup if they wanted to.

Not having much practice, many images were out of focus.  

But on a roll of 36, you always get something to turn out.

It's a really BIG lens:

Gitty-Up Bison: Part I

We arrived just after Sunrise, and then we waited until ~10:30 for the Round-up to begin.  So I enjoyed the Fall Colors:

The Cowboys and Cowgirls also had to wait:

Some on traditional horse back, and others on a variety of modern vehicles.

Then the Bison appear:

But Bison being Bison, it wasn't quite all said and done.

Find out tomorrow what happened.
