Honestly, I just find this quite funny. Taken in Badlands last fall. I hadn't seen a bison in days when I came upon this guy having a luxurious scratch.

Wonderful shot, Ana! I love the pose, and the look of ecstacy on his face is priceless.

Good question what the post is for. It looks like the posts that they use to fence in the backcountry registration area, which I have always assumed were to keep bison out. This post was just sitting by its lonesome though.

Glad you all got a kick out of it!
