It wasn't hunting, it was extermination, and it was a deliberate, brutally effective military strategy to deprive the Plains Indians of their main food source.
They knew what they were doing, and they were doing it on purpose.

have they tried to reintroduce them?
isnt most of their grazing land now farm land? their habit would have been destroyed even if they weren't callously decimated. can the US handle a huge population of migratory grazing animals like that today?

Thought it was commercial hunters. Didn't know it was strategic.
