Anecdotally, the tongues of bison were the meat often salvaged from the dead animals. Other parts of the meat were not as tender, and the heavy hides were more prized by the Native American tribes (for clothing or for making tepees) than by settlers. There was also a market in shipping the dried bones east to make fertilizer.
Buffalo Bill Cody was famous for shooting buffalo to feed the railroad crews. The meat and skin were about all that the settlers would use, and even then they left a lot to waste.
