Individuals should keep their distance between bison, moose and other large animals if they encounter them while recreating, the agency said.
During a bison encounter, individuals should watch the animal from a safe distance, the agency advised. If a bison stops what it is doing and begins watching an onlooker, that’s a sign the individual is too close and should slowly back away.
“We’ve got trail restrictions on Antelope Island in the backcountry, but safety trumps those rules,” Shaw said in the release. “If you are in the backcountry hiking and you come across any wildlife that’s in your path, we urge you to travel around it. Whatever distance you think you should remain from the animal, double it — that’s how far back you should stay.”
