Bison hunting

Bison hunting involves the pursuit and removal of bison, large North American herbivores historically important to Indigenous peoples and settlers. During the 19th century, extensive hunting, often driven by commercial interests, severely reduced wild bison populations, nearly causing extinction. Modern hunting is regulated by laws to manage populations sustainably, support conservation efforts, and respect cultural values. Hunting techniques have evolved from mass drives to more ethical, controlled practices, balancing ecological health with cultural and recreational interests. Overall, it’s a careful process aimed at preserving ecological balance and honoring historical significance.
