What is the best way to kill a Bison?

[Swift-Li]

First off i like to thank the Devs for making this awesome game.

I tried throwing 4 wood spears at it and even punching it a couple of times. Failed.
I am fairly new into the game and gotten myself a bronze spear and also a recurve bow with a couple of dozen iron poison arrow. Go with the spear or the poison arrows?

I dont know. Try to ask in a tread for a game that acctually have bisons ☺️

Headshoot helps. I prefer Spears, but think most prefer Bow. Try and shoot it a few times from distance, before it can see you.
You can also try and run away after the first shoot, and then come back.

Wisen are bison cousin.

Aim for the head, it's safer with a bow and the iron arrows is the one that makes the most damage with a bow.

Some players build a fence around them so the wisen can't reach them.

Hmm.., Yes. One adapt to live in the wood and the other in the plain. Small differences but same cow.

One rule for both: Don't try to pet the fluffy cows. XD

I'd advise using the arrows over wooden spears. Aim for the head for maximum damage. Usually a single head shot is not enough to cause them to flee, instead they will tend to charge and attack you ... which I could not out run. I found when they are attacking me I can not reaim a bow/crossbow, so I hit them with a melee weapon (eg axe, cudgel.) So i'd also advise that you have some healing potions so you can heal up whilst they are attacking you. When you eventually do sufficient damage then they will flee.

All of the above, but I used a bow with "poison arrows" .. I was hunting "bears" anyway .. and when I cam across them .. I shoot poisoned arrow and took a few hits, but keept hitting them .. remember to bring some kind of healing with you :)) Stand your ground .. thier hit isn't as bad as say a wolf or a bear .. happy gamming :))

Also: you get milk only from female cows. Trust me on this... ^^

Alot more then that.
The bison is closer to a Yak.
Its like comparing elephants to mammuts, geneticly. Its more an coincidence that both are still fluffy.

Just look up bison vs wisent in you favorite browser. They look similar, a wisent is an European bison and a bison is the name for the North American cousin. Neither looks like a yak.

The Yak looks like long haired cattle and can be domesticated to live and work along side humans and can be milked by hand. Bison and wisent are territorial and even when in daily human contact can not be domesticated to the point of being fully trusted. Bison and wisent cows are not timid enough to be approached for milking.

More relevant answers, less obtuse documentaries please. :D

for me, So far, I have shot them. first shot in the head, then second and third shot if possible as they are charging you also in the head, then i switch to a spiked cudgel for the final blow.

I back up as I shoot and use trees as cover when i am able to do so.

Ich stehe in die Höhe, und mit Bogen Kopfschuss am anfang von weitem , so dass ich wegrennen kann.

Build a wood shelter, then go shoot a first arrow, run to the shelter. The bison comes, and all you have to do is shoot him with arrows. If he goes back, follow him and do it again.
