You’re referring to a recent incident at Yellowstone National Park. A 30-year-old man from Randolph, New Jersey, was gored by a bison on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, after he and a large group of visitors reportedly approached the animal too closely in the Old Faithful area.

The man sustained minor injuries and was treated by emergency medical personnel. This marks the second bison goring incident in Yellowstone so far in 2025; a Florida man was also gored in early May.

Yellowstone officials consistently warn visitors to maintain a safe distance from all wildlife. For large animals like bison, elk, and deer, the recommended distance is at least 25 yards (23 meters). For bears and wolves, it’s even further, at 100 yards (91 meters).

Bison are unpredictable and can run much faster than humans (up to 35 mph). They will defend their space if they feel threatened, and sadly, they have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other wild animal. These incidents serve as a crucial reminder for visitors to respect wildlife and follow park regulations for their own safety and the well-being of the animals.
