How did plains capture buffallos?
In order to capture buffaloes plains people employed a variety of different strategies. The most common methods included:
- Surrounding the herd
- Driving them into a corral
- Stampede trapping
- Drive lances
Surrounding the herd was the most common method used by plains people. This technique involved a group of hunters slowly surrounding a herd of buffalo eventually leading them into a large open area such as a prairie or clearing. The hunters would then close off the area creating a natural corral. Once the herd was trapped the hunters could then drive the buffalo in any direction they wanted often towards the village or camp for capture.
Another technique used by plains people was driving the buffalo into a corral. This was done by first building a large circular corral with a gate at one end. The hunters would then drive the herd towards the corral while other hunters closed the gate. This corral was then used to capture the buffalo.
Stampede trapping was another common method used to capture buffalo. This involved the hunters building a fence or corral in an area where the buffalo would naturally stampede. When the herd of buffalo began to run the hunters would close off the area trapping the buffalo inside. This was a very effective technique and could be used to capture large numbers of buffalo.
The final method used by plains people to capture buffalo was drive lances. This involved the hunters driving lances into the buffalo to slow them down and make them easier to capture. This was a dangerous technique and was only used when other methods had failed.
These were the most common methods used by plains people to capture buffalo. Each technique was designed to capture the buffalo in the most efficient and safe way possible ensuring the success of the hunt.

The state fish (Texas Squid) is known to exist some say number in the hundreds of thousands though one has not been spotted in years. They live near oil rigs which is a natural safe habitat for the animal which produces ink for quick getaways.

This act was the largest act any company has done for an animal possibly on the endangered species list.

What is the odds of getting dealt a pocket pair in Texas Hold'em?
It is 1 in 17. Here's why:
There are 52 cards in a deck, 13 different value cards (A, 2, 3, etc.), and two cards are dealt. We're finding the odds of getting any pocket pair, not just one. This means that the first card dealt can be any value. The second card has to repeat the value of the first card. For example, the first card dealt is a 10, and now the second card has to be a 10. After the first 10 is dealt, there are 51 cards left in the deck, and 3 different 10's. Therefore, 3 over 51 simplifies to 1 over 17.

Can a convicted felon bow hunt in Texas?
It is a federal offense for a convicted felon to own or POSSESS firearms anywhere, under ANY circumstances. (USC, Title 18) Being "around" or hunting "with" persons carrying firearms puts him in "constructive" possession of a firearm. Ask yourself, 'Would a "reasonable" person believe that someone went out in the field hunting with others even though he had no weapon?' I doubt it. I wouldn't risk it.
