I don’t know if he could have glossed over the hunting parts, although I probably would have enjoyed it more without them. They bring together the actual importance of the buffalo to mankind, as that sort of butchering is essentially its main relation to us, if that makes sense. His description may echo that of many past buffalo hunters. So, it is important. I just didn’t like it!

This does look like an interesting book on the buffalo, but the actually hunting part and butchering would be hard to read.

I’m the same way about the hunting/butchering. Do you think he could’ve glossed-over those parts, or would that have harmed the integrity of the book?

I’ve been curious about this book. I took many anatomy labs in college and grad school; I can take the innards! My husband would probably like this too.

I used to go hunting with my grandfather and was around for the butchering, so those parts didn’t gross me out. As I was reading it, I remember thinking that those parts might bother other readers.

I wouldn’t like the hunting and butchering parts either.
