I also once helped field-butcher a cow bison with stone tools, which was actually a lot easier than it sounds--and was a lot more efficient than many of the "modern" field jobs I've seen.
From what little knowledge I have of stone tools, I have heard that a good flintknapper can get an edge much sharper than is possible with steel. A professor I had for an archaeology class spoke of a flintknapper from Idaho who had to have open heart surgery and talked the surgeon into using a flint blade because it was sharper than a scalpel and the scar would heal better.
Anyway, sorry to get off topic, but I do have a real question. I've noticed you guys mostly consider Bison hunting to be a meat hunt, which I understand. My question is where are the few places one can hunt a truly wild, free ranging bison?
