I've heard of a "hunter's stew" that would be eaten at these hunting camps. With men coming and going at all hours there was a need for hot and ready meals, so a pot would be kept boiling into which they would throw the meat from whatever they'd caught and any foraged food they'd found in a continuously evolving broth.

This pulled back a memory of my late grandfather. He grew up poor small town in newfoundland. I remember a time when he bought back moose from hunt and would cook the tongue, the heart, the lungs (if not destroyed by the bullet). He would crack the bone and with a straw shoot the marrow onto toast, break the spine and eat the marrow from the disc's like ribs & boil the brain for head cheese. The man wasted nothing, we were all disgusted by this stuff. But he grew up with little. That was normal life for him. If he was alive today I'm sure he would be a 17th century reenactive and love it. Thank you for another awesome video ❤

Not wasting anything is very common when hunting or just killing your own animal. My parents used to kill a pig every year when I was a child and the only thing that wasn't eaten was the bladder and gallbladder, literally everything else was eaten. In my dad's time they would even turn the bladder inside out and use it as a ball to play with when it dried. Brain is delicious, give it a shot if you ever get a chance.

We had so many deer there, they would just take the horns and backstrap of a deer and leave the carcase for the coyotes. Which lead to another problem of overpopulation of coyotes.

In many areas Human activity is an integral part of the ecology. Conservation over the past century and a half has made some mistakes, but by and large most places in the USA and Canada are focused on preserving a healthy game/predator population. I can only speak for Ohio, but if we were to do as some demand and stop hunting entirely then several species would explode in population and then die out horribly due to disease and famine, not to mention the threats they would pose to humans in the meantime. It's taken time for places to start to understand and affect their local balance for the better and it is a benefit to have knowledgeable game wardens keeping people honest. There will always be poachers, and were it a crisis situation for food then the law can and should be lenient depending on case, but the unethical trophy hunter should always be made example of. There are always hungry people out there and most states have ways to donate the meat of a kill to the needy if one doesn't want it. There's no reason to leave an otherwise fine chunk of meat in the woods just so you can carry out your rack.

Albion's greatest hunter, Charles Billinghurst who in early America went hunting for several years with Hal Antricon, Cook Ray, and Dudley Nathan Hale ( Nathan Hale's either Grandson or Great-Grandson). They provided meat and furs for fronter cities in Wyoming and Colorado. Billinghurst in his letters talks about what they ate. They ate nearly anything they could hunt and fish including skunk. They took with them rough flour, cornmeal, beans, dried peas, salt, some seasonings (and what they gathered wild), and etc. They also gathered from the wild such as berries, nuts, etc. Contrary to the belief those hunters only had horses and backpack which they had, they also had a team and wagons with supplies for the base camp.

Its interesting that Buffalo/Bison hides were not valuable during that period, when fast forwarding less than 100 years, and their hides were one of the most valuable. What people often don’t know, is the reason for this change; which was the beginning of the industrial age, with the large belt driven factory machines. These machines were all run off a large steam engine, which had shafts that ran through the factory, and belts from the shaft down to the machines. These belts were leather, and the best leather for machine belts was Bison leather, due to its thickness and strength; hence the huge demand for it in the middle of the 1800’s.

There are some water powered factories that survive to this day. In 1700 there were 70 water powered sawmills in New England.A hundred years later there were 250 and they all used leather belts on the equipment. Most of the mills used gears and axles to get power to the various saws and planers but short belts to each machine from those central axles. Those belts were made from Bison hide and they still work in some of the preserved mills kept by the National Parks Service as National Monuments.

Longhunters tended to run in groups of 7-12 or so at a time, which seemed to be just the right number. The larger groups would have a camp with people who did nothing but process hides and do camp chores while the actual hunters would go harvest hides. The camps would have to move as the area would be hunted out and once they ran out of room on the packhorses they would have to come in and sell off the hides, get fresh supplies as needed, perhaps trade out worn down horses, and prepare to go back. Most would not go out in dead of winter, as the hunting was poor, it was too hard to get around, and the possibility of starving and/or freezing to death was too high.

Anyway, on cross country flights from South Carolina to the western states I often stay in Neosho, Missouri at the Boone lick lodge. Evidently, Daniel Boone settled in that area. Back then, wild animals frequented natural salt "licks" as they were called. Hunters would stake out the licks for relatively easier hunting. The black bear can be dangerous as you mention, but not normally. However, the Grizzly bears that were encountered west of the Mississippi were extremely dangerous. Lewis and Clark talked about them quite often if i recall.

Try thousands of years ago. Tanned animal hide was the first fashion trend

If our ancestors were as stupid as we think they were then the human species would have died off long ago

It's an ancient process using brains to cure hides. It is a wonder how so many things we take for grantrd like agriculture came to be.
