Back in 2009 while Traveling with my partner along Highway 11 going north to Englehart, Ontario, Canada I noticed this large metal bison as we drive past. We finished up what we had to do in Englehart and headed back south on highway 11 and I just knew I had to stop and check on this large bison and take a few pictures of it.
For sure a must see if you’re ever up in that neck of the woods

You can tell it is a Bull Bison but just looking up and that’s all I will say about that.
