There was . . . and there was also a reason such a wasteful method of bison hunting got the tribal elders upset.

A few years of plenty of buffalo would often be followed by years of buffalo in short supply.

The Pawnee and Mandan probably handled things the best by relying on agriculture as their main source of food and hunting buffalo after the harvest was in . . . at least until more aggressive tribes moved in on their territory.

“A few years of plenty of buffalo would often be followed by years of buffalo in short supply.”

Old indian bad news/good news joke.

Chief to tribe after a bad hunting season: “The bad news this winter is all we have to eat is buffalo shit, but the good news is there are plenty of buffalo”.

Figure it out!😀
