The reporter escaping a herd of bison in Yellowstone National Park is the meme we all need right now

NBC Montana reporter Deion Broxton was just trying to do a shoot from Yellowstone National Park when he looked over and saw a herd of bison heading in his direction.

So he did what anyone would do in that situation: he uttered, “Oh no, I ain’t messing with you,” packed up and bolted. Smart man.

He then uploaded the footage to Twitter — by the way, he did end up with a shot of the bison in question! — and became a viral star, and of course that means he became a meme.

Here’s a sampling, including some sports takes on the video, starting with the original footage:

There was a herd of bison walking right toward me at @YellowstoneNPS today! pic.twitter.com/sdrBvojpwF

A reporter didn’t want anything to do with the bison that were roaming nearby while he was covering the coronavirus pandemic from Yellowstone National Park, so he packed up and got in his car. What Deion Broxton, who works for NBC Montana, didn’t realize was he recorded his hilarious reaction. “Normally, I'll hit the button and put my gear away,” he told InsideEdition.com “I guess I got so caught up in a moment. I was just worried about my safety.” InsideEdition.com’s Leigh Scheps has more.

THIS IS ESPECIALLY FUNNY TO ME SINCE I LIVE NOT TOO FAR FROM THE CANADIAN NATIONAL PARK DEDICATED TO THE BUFFALO AKA WOOD BISON KNOWN AS ELK ISLAND NATIONAL PARK, THE LARGEST WILDERNESS PARK OF BISON IS WOOD BISON NATIONAL PARK IN NORTHERN ALBERTA NEAR THE TARSANDS.
