Originally the Blackfoot tribes often used the "buffalo jump" technique, scaring and stampeding a herd over a cliff to kill large numbers of animals. Fires, piles of stones and brushwood were used to channel the herd in the right direction, while men waving buffalo hides would scare them into a stampede.

After more horses became available hunters used bows and spears to kill the buffalo from very close range.
