That's what I always tell people when they ask "how are you?".
I tell them my wife says I'm better than nothing.

What we need to remember about the Bison being slaughtered & they were: Is it was santioned & supported by the Govt. The govt. even supplied .50-70 cartridges to hunters. The idea was to wipe out the Bison which was the leading food, tent, clothing, supply of the Plains Indians. It wasn't done by sport hunters so we can largely blame the good old U.S. Govt for it. They suggested & subsidised it.
Not sport hunters.
We need to remember this, the media won't tell us.

Buffalo burgers are what I usually get when I stop at Cabela's, I just had one on Saturday!

Lettuce,tomato, onion and a plate of fries, it just hits the spot!

I have western history books with photos of trains carrying wealthy easterners and shooting hundreds of buffalo from flat deck rail cars. High power rifles and just take as many down as you can. Frank is correct; no buffalo = no plains Indians. That was the mandate.

Speaking of Bison, we live 3 hours from Yellowstone Nat. Park, at last count I think it was Bison 5 tourists 0. That is for tourist tossing Bison style!
They are still dangerous to the uncautious.
