Bisons are really cool animals and some really good eating.
There's a bison farm in Brooklyn, CT that I visited last summer. They are roaming free in the fields, but they keep one in a corral for visitors to see up close. I had a handful of feed and held it out to him or her. I expected it to lick it off my hand, but instead the bison engulfed my entire hand in it's mouth and sucked the food off of it. It was kind of scary, than really yucky afterward. My hand was really stinky and wet.
The coolest thing was feeling the hair on its head. You'll never feel such a dense and spongy nest of hair.
If you get the steaks make sure you cook them rare or med. rare, they will dry out very fast (because of the lack of fat). They aren't cheap so don't ruin them. They cook fast, alot faster than beef steak.
