I found these pictures extremely interesting in that the population of Bison herds went from approximately 25 million to about 100. I have seen a small herd in Arkansas in Dogwood Canyon. They are magnificent creatures

The mass killing of the bison was an economic issue as well as political issue to starve the American Indians of the central plains into submission.
We can thank a man named Scotty Philip of South Dakota for saving of the species.
A point of interest: Here in the Black Hills there are many of the animals. So many that every year they hold a round-up and cull the heard. That is something to see.

More than 1,300 American buffalo pound through the valley when it’s Roundup time. Herdsmen on horseback spur them over the ridge and into corrals for sorting and checkups.

Thanks SGT (Join to see) for sharing images of hunting bison for the sake of destroying the herds.
When I was at Fort Leavenworth there was a fenced in area which had a small herd of bison there. I am glad to know the herd is still safely fenced in.
Image: Have you ever noticed the small herd of buffalo leisurely grazing on the southwest corner of the grounds of the Federal Penitentiary on Metropolitan Avenue?

Used to drive by a herd every day driving to base when I was stationed in North Dakota. Farm was pretty big so occasionally would actually see them running through the field. Impressive and this was a small herd compared to what used to roam the plains.
