A herd of buffalo migrated through Ft. Greely, Alaska twice a year, when I served there in the '70s. This was followed my soldiers following them with wheelbarrows and shovels. to remove their wastes.
Thankfully, opportunities exist at Yellowstone National Park for selfies with buffalo, a good goring, and possibly a ticket for disturbance of them, or a car dent.
It wasn't originally accurate to say that buffalo hunters only took the hides and tongues. Originally, they were often hunting for the railroad to supply meat for the workers. The extermination policies that left the carcasses to rot were implemented by the US government to deliberately weaken the various plains Indians.
My Great Grandpa Claudius Hart got his first car ride in Buffalo Bill's model T. This family story is told with pride and I always questioned them like 'you've seen the pyramids of Buffalo skull right?'
If you find yourself in Deadwood, South Dakota, I recommend checking out Ta'Tanka: Story of the Bison. Fantastic museum. They have some awesome displays that show all the tools that were made from bison.
