Friends, this young bison bull is ready for the winter winds to blow across the prairie and encase the land in ice and snow.  Even though the wet snow of this first winter storm has melted all over him, he is still ready to take on all adversaries, even the larger bulls.  His horns have not yet been torn up in battle and with his black head he looks rather menacing.  I did not test his courage and after taking his picture, retreated to my vehicle.  til Tomorrow MJ
