The buffalo were located in the central plains. At one time there were 30 million buffalo on the plains and the Native American tribes living on the plains would hunt them on foot. Originally there were no horses in North America until the Spanish brought them, so they needed to hunt them by setting fire to the grasses and using animal pelts to hide their scent they would sneak up on the herd. The buffalo were basically farmed and when killed every part was used. Nothing was wasted. When the white man came to the plains and built the railroad he slaughtered the buffalo because it was known it was a lifeline for the tribes. Mountains of buffalo were killed just to kill and by the late 1800's there were only 17,000 left from the 30 million.
