It was shedding season, and the bison were rubbing themselves against all kinds of solid objects. So, at first, I thought maybe these two bison were just being scratching posts for each other. But it became more serious.

1. The challenge.

2. Push and shove. The visible horn of the left bison is pushing into the flesh of the right bison.

Eventually the smaller bison had enough and slowly backed away, clearly afraid of the larger one.

Good captures here. Now one of these guys is going to need an aspirin.
