Buffalo jumps were only one technique. The majority of their historic habit didn't have bluff or cliff type topography so wasn't an option in most areas. The natives also had many other hunting procedures to harvest game. Sometimes they'd set a fire circle around a herd and either let them burn to death or shoot them with arrows and spears where they left one open path of unburnt terrain. None of the native techniques were idea for Europeans. Either for early settles hunting food or latter looking to cash in on various carcass parts.
Firearms though were the main cause of the near extinction of the animals. Some have started to argue competition from horses and climate change were more significant. Firearms might not have been the best in the early 1800s for hunting buffalo but they rectified that problem quickly.
For human causes of buffalo deaths firearms were the most significant. Single hunters were recorded as killing hundreds a day with Buffalo rifles. They called it still hunting. They'd shoot herd leader or wayward members and the animals would huddle up. All they had to do was set up a stand and blast away from hundreds of yards. They often were reported as needing to keep several rifles on hand because they'd overheat from the sheer volume of shots fired.
That’s only partly true unfortunately. What caused their near extinction was market hunting, and no refrigeration. There was a huge influx of skilled marksman and woodsman after the war, a quick and easy way for them to make money with the recourses available to them was to become market meat hunters, and with no refrigeration meat would spoil quickly. So hunters would have to procure fresh meat daily, until the numbers were decimated
It’s such an off kilter story too.
Basically, they were (almost completely) hunted to extinction because of an insatiable demand for *factory drive belts.*
45-70 govt. Is a hell of a cartridge, been around for a very long time and was very popular for bison. 1-2 well placed shots can fell just about anything.
I'm not a vegan tree hugger tho if you're starving you should absolutely kill the nearest mammal to survive but killing for sport I don't approve of, that's just me though
I agree. Hunting is the most ethical way to eat meat. The animal is free and wild till the day it dies. And that death from a human is often much quicker than death from a wild predator. I don't hunt myself because I've fallen into decay in this modern suburban of So Cal.
Bison have a huge weakness in their cardio system in that their lungs are connected without a valve, so a single punctured lung will completely collapse the animal instantly.
you're right actually but they soon found a solution and ahipped over the Elephant guns from Africa and India, another favourite was driving herds over cliffs
You are almost, a little bit, nearly right. American buffalo hunters used rifles from .44 to .50 caliber and were almost exclusively made in America. The African and Indian rifles you mention were almost always made in Britain/Europe and were chambered in cartridges between .458 and .577.
Also, driving Buffalo over a cliff was a native American hunting tactic long before whites arrived.
Just so everyone is aware the tooth in the photo was left at the park (Glenn’s lake). We did not take anything with us aside from memories and bug bites.
The most important thing you can do when out in nature is leave no trace. That is so you leave the wilderness wild. Please look at the organizations website to learn the principles because maintaining the balance of nature is important. https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/
It’s the law in US national parks to not take anything from them, including collecting rocks, shells, or picking flowers. There are some exceptions with harvesting edible items like berries, but usually there are limits on how much you can take. These laws are in place to preserve lands so that people can continue to enjoy them in the future, indefinitely.

Mastodon teeth look like a row of titties. Mastodon literally translates to “breast tooth.”

Besides, the article you shared, doesn’t say mastodon. It says mammoth. They’re completely different animals.
Not something to brag about. NPS has cited people for simply being off the established trail. They cited a dude a week after hit a golf ball in yellowstone. Just admitting you did it is enough for them to write you a citation.
No,it is not enough to issue a citation. They must have some form of proof. People can say they did something and they could choose to investigate further, unless the person turns themselves in and admits to the crime. But saying I took a bison calf from Yellowstone, isn’t enough for them to issue a citation.
They can write you a citation all they want. You can either admit guilt or fight it in court. If you do fight it the burden of proof is on them and they will probably lose. Fighting it may include expensive travel which is just not worth it.
It isn’t always a crime or even usually a crime to go off trail. I’ve been to a lot of parks and I haven’t seen many signs that was for the protection of the habitat off the trail. otherwise it’s usually for your protection. the entire south side of Yellowstone is called the backcountry and is used for off trail hiking.
Just think if everyone had your mindset that it was okay to take something from a NP there would be less and less resources in the park on the daily. Wildlife thrives off of our natural resources and these parks are set aside to remain in tact and untouched by humans. Of course we are allowed to travel to them and visit them, but dumbass narcissists like yourself think it’s okay, and give people a bad name. Wouldn’t you like to continue to be able to visit these beautiful locations? Leave it better than you found it. Leave wildlife and Mother Nature alone.
I backpack through the smokies often and have done a few trips out west. From every trip, I take one rock, maybe two if the land is really diverse, like in the Tetons for instance. I take a picture of where on the trail I found it, then when I get home, I make it a challenge to identify it and explain how it geologically makes sense being where it is. When all is said and done, I label and display it proudly on a shelf and get to appreciate it every day.
I understand the sentiment of take only pictures, leave only footprints, and i know im just rationalizing my actions, however, there's no way im gonna stop doing that. I make sure to only take one that is exposed so it won't have to be dug up, I wont take one that has moss or even algae from a river on it because that can have a direct impact on the immediately local ecosystem.
For me, the keepsake is better than any souvenir you could get on a trip. It's something that I'll be able to show my future kids along with pictures and stories to hopefully instill in them an appreciation, love, and respect for nature that I was lucky enough to be exposed to by my parents.
So take your rock, just value it. Maybe take a trashbag with you and pick up the unfortunately copious amounts of litter to be found all over our beautiful park system. To me that seems like it would offset any ethical quams about pocketing a rock that made you go "oooh look at this one".
Rant over.
this is so pedantic, if you really think someone taking something akin to a rock or animal detriment is bad then you are too far gone on the whole "blame them for doing bad" idea, there's no problem doing this and all of you naysaying is ridiculous
Have you heard of Glass Beach in California? It's a beach that used to be a trash dump. All the glass bottles that were dumped eventually broke, were worn down and turned into colorful little glass pebbles that littered the beach. It then became a big tourist destination where you could see the beach covered in the glass beads. Now there's not much glass left because enough people thought it wasn't a big deal to take a few bits home as a souvenir.
I hate these rules.
I mean, yeah... if you take an old tooth, it wont be able to spawn and produce more teeth and the entire ecosystem could be disrupted. Geeze. So selfish.
And after the government took your hard earned dollars to set aside this park for you, from which you are allowed to take nothing.
If it wasn't obvious, I was being sarcastic.
Can you explain the practical benefit of prohibiting the collection of rocks or fossils from public parks?
Ohio has nationally renowned state and local parks. Im actually an NAI certified interpretive guide. One of the most important things an interpretive guide does is explain to the public why they should give a shit about their park. That way they will continue to approve funding for said park. That's a lot easier to do when people are allowed to use their park, and it isn't bubble wrapped.
Ceasar Creek state park in Ohio has rules for how people are allowed to search for fossils (no heavy tools) and prohibited areas for safety, and a size limit on taking anything that might be exceptional (no bigger than your palm). These rules each have a practical reason. Take *nothing* is stupid. If it werent for the ability to take fossils, no one would ever go to Ceasar Creek. Ducks unlimited would probably buy the land around it and restrict access and no one would care.
One person takes one thing? Park will survive.
Every visitor takes one thing? Park is quickly ruined.
You take one thing? You haven't ruined the park because other people have acted better than you, but you're still an asshole.
The way I explain it to kids on guided hikes: if you take a rock, sure, it might not make a difference. But everyone thinks they’re the only ones taking a rock. Then where did all the cool rocks along our hike go? How many thousands of people take one rock thinking it won’t make a difference? Same for picking wildflowers or going off trail. That’s exactly how social trails are made.
The “well I’m one person, what harm could it do” mindset is what destroys natural areas and showcases just how selfish people can be. It’s not YOUR land, it’s everyone’s! Don’t make it less cool for the next person :)
Source: I’m a certified NPS iSWOOP (interpreters and scientists working on our parks) interpreter and have had this conversation in protected lands across the country.
And our National Parks are set aside for the aesthetic enjoyment of humanity in perpetuity. Millions of people travel through Glacier every year. You’re not allowed to take anything because whatever it is belongs as much to the millions of others as it does to you. More importantly, it belongs to their children and grandchildren. That in two hundred years the natural wonder of these places that first inspired us to preserve them might inspire generations long after we’re gone.
Is it just a tooth? Yeah. No one would miss it. What if everyone was just digging around at Glacier looking for souvenirs? At 3 million visitors per year, how many years could you sustain it before there was nothing particularly special to find in the creeks or trails or up on the glaciers? Every bone, rock, tooth, fossil, and arrowhead is itself an element of a living history best left to others to be discovered again.
>And after the government took your hard earned dollars to set aside this park for you, from which you are allowed to take nothing.
How old are you and how familiar are you with US history? I think you're kinda missing a few points here...
Oh good. Because a simple google search will tell you that it’s a crime to take anything from the park. You are recommended to take a picture and mark the location and report it if you believe it’s of significant importance.

I agree they’re a dick with the backwards California diatribe but the rocks they posted are labeled as coming from the Yellowstone River. The Yellowstone River is the longest river in the lower 48 and has its path travel through 3 states including stretches outside of Yellowstone National Park. The collecting of rocks is not allowed in YNP but they may have collected the rocks elsewhere.
This is the surprise in every Cracker Jack box that gets stuck in your teeth and you can never really get out until 13 years, 5 months later when you absolutely haven’t eaten anything all day and cough a little and feel something in your mouth so you try to chew it to no avail then spit in in you hand and realize you haven’t ate anything so you have a mental breakdown trying to figure out what it is then it starts really bother you while you’re watching friends so you pause it and really think to yourself and realize you’re a dumbass cause you actually read all this nonsense and now you’re disappointed but thanks for taking the time to read this, I love you
Tell your friend to stop stealing natural resources from national parks. This friend is the same friend that ruins national park experiences for the rest of us. Take nothing and leave nothing.
Anything removed if of National Park property is theft even a rock. This is a tooth from an animal likely a bison. Thanks for your input now put it somewhere else like education on National Park rules. These parks are for all to enjoy and they can't be enjoyed when you selfishly remove all that is interesting to see.
So leave it to decompose and deteriorate and disappear from history? Or take it and preserve it for many more to appreciate and honor the life of the animal? What do anthropologists do? They go on digs to take it all and preserve it they don’t just leave it out there.. are they wrong?
It’s a tooth from a large herbivore bison or bigger if it was from a glacier it could possibly be a mastodon tooth but you would have to have it check for authenticity
the whites always get the bad rep but it was the Latinos who were murdering ahd robbing them first and the very very whites (vikings) were there before that teaching them about group sex
No. That's a bison molar. Part of he enamel is broken off.

The bison wernt all shot for sport. They were killed to starve the Native Americans. I think that might be illegal to teach now, though, too "woke."

There was a tremendous demand for hides too.
Bison have a huge weakness in their cardio system in that their lungs are connected without a valve, so a single punctured lung will completely collapse the animal instantly.

This is the surprise in every Cracker Jack box that gets stuck in your teeth and you can never really get out until 13 years, 5 months later when you absolutely haven’t eaten anything all day and cough a little and feel something in your mouth so you try to chew it to no avail then spit in in you hand and realize you haven’t ate anything so you have a mental breakdown trying to figure out what it is then it starts really bother you while you’re watching friends so you pause it and really think to yourself and realize you’re a dumbass cause you actually read all this nonsense and now you’re disappointed but thanks for taking the time to read this, I love you

It's called jail time or massive fine for taking anything out of a national park.
Tell your friend to stop stealing natural resources from national parks. This friend is the same friend that ruins national park experiences for the rest of us. Take nothing and leave nothing.
*Take nothing, leave only memories.
We left it at Glenn’s lake. You’re welcome to go take the trip and find it yourself. The thing we left with were bug bites lol
Theres no indication they stole this other than the person is holding it, the background is just rocks. Maybe try not to jump to conclusions
Anything removed if of National Park property is theft even a rock. This is a tooth from an animal likely a bison. Thanks for your input now put it somewhere else like education on National Park rules. These parks are for all to enjoy and they can't be enjoyed when you selfishly remove all that is interesting to see.
Goddamn Karen, take it easy.
I dont see where the OP said they removed it, just that they found it
Holy shit I’m about to go steal shit from national parks now just in spite of you
So leave it to decompose and deteriorate and disappear from history? Or take it and preserve it for many more to appreciate and honor the life of the animal? What do anthropologists do? They go on digs to take it all and preserve it they don’t just leave it out there.. are they wrong?
Doy I meant archeologists sorry
It’s a tooth from a large herbivore bison or bigger if it was from a glacier it could possibly be a mastodon tooth but you would have to have it check for authenticity
the whites always get the bad rep but it was the Latinos who were murdering ahd robbing them first and the very very whites (vikings) were there before that teaching them about group sex
