Message:: [QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 2254377, member: 8797"]When I was in high school marching band we competed in an international field show in Calgary Stampede, Alberta, Canada. It was something like 33 hours one way on the big charter bus. On the way there we stopped at a place called "Smashed In Head Buffalo Drop" which, as one might infer from the name, was a Native American heritage site. There was a guided tour and the guide told the history of the ancient method of hunting buffalo his ancestors relied upon that is the namesake of the site. The tour ended in a dining area where you could eat a bison burger. (Personally I didn't have one, but only because I thought they were too expensive to be unsure of whether I was really getting bison.) [ Side story: I once attended an event where bear burgers were advertised. They sold out of bear burgers and just used beef but sold them as bear. I and several others heard a pair of idiots talking when they had sold out. It went like this.  One guy: "We're out of bear. We should have planned for more people!" Other guy: "They'll never know the difference." And that is why I'd rather kill it and butcher it myself. End. ][/QUOTE]
