Alaska Sulfate Hun! is Hoi
Like Buiiate Bill Dies 11, Bui
lii is Mo taw Pasture' Affair
If you heard a distinct rumbling
noise lately, it was probably old
Buffalo Bill twirling in his grave
atop Lookout mountain in Color
ado.
Old Pa-hus-ka—as the plains In
man- affectionately used to call old
Col. William F. Cody when they
weren't out after his better-than
; ver : ;e scalp—probably had his own
id . about how a buffalo hunt
should be tun. And it is doubtful
ii the recent hunt for the shaggy
ouils recently up in Alaska's Big
Delta country would conform to the
old buffalo hunter’s rules.
The old hunter had no airplane
to spot his kills for him, and he
had no jeep to carry him up with
in shooting distance. But. on the
other , hand, he did list .}u;u 4 •
and Wildlife Service men Handing
by telling him. “Boy, you shot your
meat. Now all you have to do is
take care of it and lug that 2,000
! pounds of bison bull away from
! here if you have to use a derrick." j
But no matter what the old hunt- i
[ ers might think about it, according)
to a report from the Pish and Wild
life Service the hunters who par
ticipated in the Big Delta hunt
I found it was no "Cow pasture" af
fair.
This year's hunt was the second
Alaska bison hunt. The purpose was
to eliminate some, of the non-breed
ing bulls of the Territory's herd.
The herd had grown since the or
iginal transplanting of the animals |
from the western states and for the
liast two years it has been found i
■ ocsirahle- to-get rid of- some of the i
bulls. While 14 of the 24 bulls killed ;

purpose was to kill off some of the
bulls that had become outcasts
of the herd.
Urban C. Nelson, wildlife biolog
ist. says that these outcast bulls
were becoming troublemakers, and
because the herd bulls would not let
them even cast a side-long glance
at a cow bison, they naturally
weren't helping add to the herd
population.
Twenty-four permits were issued
for the big hunt Oct. 1 through
Oct. 15 in a public drawing. These
were drawn from names on 912 ap
plications.
Liaison-type planes of the FWS
flew over the area near 1he junc
tion of the Richardson and Alaska
Highways, spotting bulls and radio
in", reports back to the hunters.
Hunters were guided to . a possible
kill by FWS men—and from there
tlie buffalo hunters were on their
own.
Most of the hunt was concentrated
on the east side of the river because
of the lack of facilities, including
the right type of aircraft, to cross
and land on the west side. This ac
counted for the fact that fewer
non-breeding bulls were killed this
year because most of them were on
the west side.
But one hunter brought a boat,
and with another hunter, crossed!
the delta. FWS men say each hunt- !
er had no trouble getting his bull,1
but then they had the problem of :
getting them back. It took one of :
these hunters thrCe days to bring1
his bull back to the east side of the;
river to the road, and took the other |
hunter four days.
Few of the hunters realized the!
job ahead of them after the kill |
in taking care of and transporting
1 about a ton of meat. And, FWS men
say, hunters found it was no sport j
for children in making the kill.
Although no wounded animals
! got away to die, several had to be
shot several times because a hunt
er was unable to reach a vital re
gion with one or two shots. The
tough animals with their thick hid
es did everything but play patty
cake with the hunters’ bullets.
Two animals killed several days
after the hunt started had old
bullet wounds. One had been walk
ing around with a bullet hole run
ning completely from one end of
the neck to the other, the bullet
having passed completely through.
Many cases of "buck fever" were
reported among the nimrods with
several hunters trying to fire with
the safety on and several ejecting
unfired shells.
A party from the Areomedical Lab
from Ladd Airforce Base was on
hand checking the animals for pos
sible external parasites, but found
them clean. The bison, however, ap
peared not so particular about

All of the stomachs checked con

and one bull was all set for winter
with a piece of weatherstripping

Fish and Wildlife men say that:
this year's hunt will probably be
the last for several years in that
immediate area where most of the
kills were made. However, a survey
is being made to determine the
number of suitable bulls on the
west side of the Delta river and to
ascertain if a hunt would be feas
ible in that area.
