Humans were their greatest enemies, they hunted them to extinction. But are humans animals?
Generally speaking, pioneers were essentially farmers. They had typical farm animals found on the country side like cattle, sheep, chickens, goats, pigs, etc... Additionally, they had work horses and Clydesdale horses to pull farming equipment which were necessary for planting and harvesting. They also had a variety of breeds of dogs which were used for herding cattle and horses or, simply, for man's best friend.
Trappers hunted animals for their fur and sold them for profit. They became excellent guides for early pioneers because of their knowledge of the land.
The most frequent animals hunted in the prairie are prairie dogs, rabbits and hairs, field mice, and multiple insects, which are hunted by birds of prey and snakes. Buffalo and deer can be hunted by humans.
