out on the plains. We often advanced
money to the responsible hunters for
their outfit, and I was often In the camps.
Generally there were three men together.
They had a wagon, tent, horses, rifles.
ammunition, and canned provisions.
Each man was armed with rifle, three
SHINING knives, and a long steel or
shsrpener, and they were pot hunters
from way back. Many of them would
kill fifty to eighty buffaloes a day.
Their method was to steal up to a herd,
lie in concealment, and shoot the leader.
The bull was a stupid beast and would
stand looking at the smoke and gather
around the first victim. Finally another
one would start off and the hunter would
shoot it, and the scene would be re-
