Best way to tame : find one on its own. Stack 3 pilers and at least 3 ceilings on the pilers. Shoot from the platform. Once bison is down, build a quick trap.

An awesome trap : place 4 Dino gateways in a square around the bison (or whatever) to secure it. Secure the area. Then add 2-4 foundations right outside 1 of the gateways, place walls 2 high either all around it. OR place 4 walls (2 high) on either sides of the foundations, pick up the gateway that's in the way and place it at the last open end of the trap. (a bit expensive, but easy to set up and protect)
