‘God help me, I’m going to die,’ hunter recalls as bison grinds him into ground
WHITEHORSE — A hunter has a harrowing tale of survival after nearly becoming the quarry during his first-ever bison hunt in Yukon.
“All I seen was horns,” Todd Pilgrim said, describing the moment on Nov. 7 when an injured and enraged bison charged at him as he tracked it through bush north of Whitehorse.
Pilgrim said he shot and wounded the animal just a few minutes earlier, but it escaped into a nearby grove of trees.
He followed the bison but said he had little warning before he was attacked.
