It doesn't stop at buffalos ... there were commercial hunters for deer, elk, and waterfowl too ... and to show that it isn't limited to animals, remember, there was a time when steelhead could be commercially harvested too ... fortunately, even in the 30's the state had enough sense to outlaw this ... and this is not about more salmon on the sporties dinner plates ... start clipping all fins and make C&R mandatory on wild salmon and watch me do backflips!!
