Great Plains.

Many of the peoples of the Great Plains were nomadic. Factors that influenced this were the dry climate and the reliance on bison for meat and hides.
There are five types of bison alive today: Plains bison, Woods bison (all sub-species of the American Bison), Wisent (European bison), Cape Buffalo, and the Asian Water Buffalo (tame/domesticated ones are commonly referred to as Carabao). Plains and Woods bison are found in the United States and Canada. Wisents are found in Europe. Cape buffalo are found in Africa, and Water buffalo are found in Asia.
Boone would've been referring to the Great Plains, which has rich fertile land with many bison living on it.
The climate, which had moderate rainfall, combined with the relatively flat landscape to create a grassland. The grassland was home to many large mammals, most importantly the bison. Bison were the greatest resource for the Plains Indians, who hunted them for food, clothing, and shelter.
There are a number of key natural resources found in the Great Plains of the United States. Some of these include wheat, dairy products, as well as corn.
Many Western Plains Indians relied heavily on bison. They used everything on bison including their skin, hair, and meat in order to survive.

Cattle ranching on the plains led to grasslands being stripped and the land becoming drier than ever. Bison herds were decimated. Eventually there were so many cattle being raised on the plains that a bad winter saw many of them die of starvation and the cold.
Back in the days when there were thousands of Bison, there could be thousands of them in a single herd. They were said to cover the plains for as far as the eye could see.
