Park paramedics initially transported McDaniel to a local hospital before transferring him to Bozeman via a two-hour ambulance ride.
"All the people that were there were amazing," McDaniel told CNN. "They were all positive – they were trying to help as best they could."
The photographer who filmed the incident, Mike MacLeod, noted that the bison appeared highly agitated prior to the confrontation.
He also confirmed that the victims maintained a respectful distance and did not provoke the animal.
