If you have an evening to spend reading , this book in pdf gives a lot of information on the bison and their near extinction.
A quote from page 13....
Several scholars have argued that the slaughter of the bison would not have happened in
an environment with well-defined property rights (Benson, 2006; Hanner, 1981; Lueck, 2002;
Taylor, 2011). As far as the Native nations were concerned, property rights existed, though
they were clearly not enforced. One reason for this was political. General Phil Sheridan, then
Commander of the Military Division of the Missouri stated in 1875:
“These men [hunters] have done in the last two years and will do more in the next
year to settle the vexed Indian question, than the entire regular army has done in the
last thirty years. They are destroying the Indians’ commissary. Send them powder
and lead if you will; for the sake of the lasting peace, let them kill, skin and sell until
the buffalos are exterminated.” – quoted from Gwynne (2010), p.262
