"When we look at the decimation of American wildlife, that story begins with the colonials like Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. They killed the last 15 million buffalo, literally wiping places clean. For 10,000 years Native Americans hunted with only one recorded extinction, but when Europeans arrived, the pattern shifted to commodification and commercial hunting. Boone and Crockett became legends, but they were also market hunters who nearly erased entire species" #hunt #hunter #hunting #histor
