'Hide Hunters'.

Mural by Texas artist Harold Dow Bugbee, 1956, which can be seen at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum’s in Canyon, Texas.

I am going to write an essay about bison hunting at some point, but for now will submit this brief explanation by Richard Grant from 2011:

The American bison is the largest mammal on the continent and a symbol of the American West. Herds migrate with the seasons and this is why the tribes that hunted them became nomadic. Now restricted to a few National Parks and a growing number of private ranches, at one time the accepted number of bison that roamed the West was 60 million. They were wiped out in less than 20 years by hide hunters, thereby depriving the Plains Indians of a livelihood*.

Numbers were reduced to less than 2,000 [other sources say fewer than that] and replaced by 50 million cattle. Some think this was a mistake as cattle are not nearly as well suited to the environment. Bison can give birth without the assistance of a vet, they have good immunity to the various endemic diseases, they can make it through the winter without supplemental feed and survive the storms with their big head and shaggy-furred shoulders. The animals evolved in this environment and therefore adapted to it over time. Cattle are not as hardy and do not always survive the winter. Bison are now growing in numbers again, mostly in farming, because their meat is low fat and tasty.

*As well as making money for the hide hunters and traders (there was an enthusiastic market for 'buffalo leather' in the east and Europe), the annihilation of the bison was also a deliberate tactic to deprive the Indians of their way of life and force them into the reservations.

Number 9 on the fairy tale retellings ask game

9. Fairy tale you love but have never found a retelling for

"The Boots of Buffalo Leather" is a Grimm's Fairy Tale that's so obscure I'd never heard it mentioned before I happened to turn to it in the collection, and I can barely even find the fairy tale itself online. But it's a super fun buddy tale where both main characters bring about fun twists, and I think it could be really fun to retell.

Now that (shoe store) Buffalo has switched to plastic leather, I think they should rename themselves to "Dinosaur".
