The drunk moron who was caught on video taunting a bison in Yellowstone National Park has pleaded guilty to four misdemeanors and has been sentenced to a total of 130 days in Federal prison, minus 21 days already served while he was awaiting trial. Additionally, while he is on probation, he is banned from Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Glacier National Parks.

All in all, he made out pretty well. The bison could easily have mashed him into a pile of goo on the highway.

Most likely, Reinke will serve the remainder of his sentence in the same local jail where he was held pending trial and will not be transferred to the Bureau of Prisons, as is typical with most people sentenced for Federal misdemeanors.

Also, Reinke seems like one of those people whose final words will be, “Hey guys, watch this!!!”

Just keep working on getting that Darwin Award.

Bison are mean and nasty when they want to be.

That guy got off lucky.

When “Hold my beer” meets Nature red in tooth in claw. The former is lucky to emerge from the encounter with what little brains they have intact.

LOL I agree. But what do they mean by taunting? Was he insulting the Bison? But anyway, the Bison was smarter than some people. He probably had next of kin around telling him, he’s not worth it “Harry”.
