Was amazing how a species was almost driven to extinction in 100 yrs ... they said its the largest mass killing of a species by man to date, I may have a bone to pick w that. The demise of the cod on the east coast is probably greater based on biomass but it took a few hundred yrs to overfish it.
Saw a "wild" herd of Buffalo in Colorado a gew yrs back in a fed/state park, damn impressive animals. On a personal note they mention buffalo bill in series, my G grandpa saw Buffalo bill at an show in buffalo ny, i remember seeing the notice as a boy and asking him about it. Ya csb

Buffalo Bill visited the house my wife grew up in. It was a great great something or other who lived there at the time and knew him. There was an account of the visit in the local newspaper.

We did a ranch vacation in northern Colorado once. On one of the rides, we went to a neighboring ranch where they had about 800 buffalo. It was pretty cool to see them grazing down in the valley.

It was also pretty cool when the wrangler's horse backed into the electric fence designed to keep the buffalo from wandering. The wrangler was opening a gate and the horse backed up a bit too far.

Never knew a horse could squeal and jump like that. MJ would have been proud.
