The Great Platte River—mite
Hunting and Eati
JAMES G BENNETT,
Dear Sir—ln my letter of the
tinued my account of our trip to of
upon the waters of Blue. On the
we crossed the main dividing ridge
ors of Kama§ and the Great Platte. We travelled
twenty-five miles over the finest road imaginable, and
our eyes first beheld the wide and beautiful valley of
the Great Platte just as the sun was going down be
hind the bleak sand hills. We encamped in the hot*
tom, about two miles from the river, without fuel.—
Next morning we started, without any breakfast, sad
travelled a few miles,
where we found willows for fuel,.
and where we took a hearty meal. We struck the riv
er near the head of Grand Island, which is seventy
five miles long, covered with timber, and several miles
wide, varying greatly, in places, as to width ; but what
was strange, there was not a solitary tree on the south
side of the river where we were. The river 'betroth°
island, as fur as the Forks, is generally about 2 miles
wide. Perhaps this is one of the most wonderful riv
ers in the world. Like the Nile, it runs hundreds of
miles through a sandy desert. The valley of this stream
is from 15 to 20 miles wide, a smooth level plain, aid
the river generally runs in the middle of it, from wen
to east. The course of this stream is more uniform
than any I have ever seen. It scarcely ever makes a
bend. The Platte river was high until after we had
passed Fort Larimer. This river has low sandy blanks
with sandy bosom, and the water muddy, like that of
the Missouri. The current is rapid, and the river be
ing very wide, is very shallow, and easily forded. ex
cept in high water. It is full of most beautiful islands
of all sizes, covered with beautiful trees, contrasting
finely with the wild prairie plains and bold sand hills
on each side of the river.
Ihe plain on each side of the river extends out to
the sand hills, which are about about 3 miles through
them, when you ascend up to a wide prairie plain of
almost interminable extent. Upon this plain, and MUM.
limes in the sand hills, we found the buffalo, and num
bers of white wolves. In ti.e plains, near rho river,
we generally found the antelope. When the season is
wet, as was the ease this season, the buffalo resort to
the plain beyond the sand hills, where they find water
in 'the ponds. As the summer advances, and the ponds
dry up, they approach the river, and are found in the
plain near it. You have, perhaps, often heard of bur.
Palo paths. As you go from the river out to the wide
plain, beyond the sand hills, through which you must
pass, you willfind 'tallies among those hills leading out
towards this plain. These vallies are covered with
grass, and the buffaloes have made numerous paths.
not only in these vallies, but over all the hilts, where
they could pass at all, (and they can pass almost any
where,) leading from this wide plain to the river,
where they resort for water, in the dry season. Thew
paths are very narrow, and are sunk in the ground six
or eight inches deep. In traveling up the Platte, al
most every thirty yards we had to cross a path, which
was about all the obstzuctiou we met while travelling
up this gently inclined plain. While hunting, there is
no danger of being lost, for you can find a buffalo path
lany where, and they always lead the nearest route to
the river. All the plains Are covei ed with grass; bat
the plain upon the river has not only the greatest
variety, but the most rich and luxuriant grass. The
greatest general scarcity of wood we found on the
Platte, before we reached Fort Larimer. We some
'times found bunches of dry willows, often Indian wig
warns made of willows; but the way in which ire gee
orally procured our fuel, was to pick up the pieces of
drift wood during the day, and at night we would have
plenty. It requires very little fuel. It is to
dig a narrow ditch, about eight inches wide, one foot
I deep, and two or three feet long. This confines the
beat, and prevents the wind from scattering the fire.
On the 22d day of June, we saw the first band of
buffaloes, which contained about fifty of all ages and _
sizes. Out of this band two were killed. They were
found in the plain close to the river, and were pursued
' on horseback. Perhaps no sport in the world is so
exciting as a buffalo hunt. The fox chase sinks into
insignificance when compared to it. The mode of
hunting this noble animal is very simple .They are
generally found upon the wide plain beyond the sand
hills, as I before stated. and you will almost always
find them grazing near the head of some hollow lead
ing up near them. When you approach him, you must
let the wind blow from him to you; because if you
scent him, you will hardly run off, but if he scents -
you. he is certain to scamper. The sight of the buf
falo is very dull, but their sense of smell is very acute.
I one day saw a band of about one hundred buffaloes
on the opposite side of the river from us, and about
two miles off, running parallel with the line of wag.
ons, up the river. When they came directly opposite
to us, was to strike the stream of wind, which blew
from us directly across the river, they turned suddenly
la at right angles, and increased their speed greatly.
, They had evidently scented us. Ifyou have the wind
[ of them, you can approach within a very short dis
tance. near enough to kill them readily with the rifle.
When you fire, if you remain still, and do not show
yourself, the buffalo will perhaps bring a bound, and
then stop, and remain until you have fired several
times. If he is wounded he will lie down. If semi
guns are fired in quick succession it alarms the band._
and they all move off in a brisk trot; but if you Iced
and fire slowly, you may often kill several before the
balance leave. I have seen three or four lying within
ten yards of each other.
When you have fired as often as you can, and the
buffalo have retired beyond the reach of your balls,_
your return down the hollow to your horses, and having
mounted, you approach as near as possible before you
show yourself to the animal: and, when he sees you,
your horse ought to be at the very top of his speed.
so as to get near him before he gets under full speed.
You may dash at a band of buffaloes not more thee
one hundred yards off, and they will stand and gas*
at you before they start; but when one puts himself
in motion Blithe rest move instantly, and those lying
down will not be very far behind the others ; as they
rise running. Although they seem to run awkwardly,
yet they step rapidly, and if you lose much time, you
will have a hard run to overtake them. The best plan
is to put your horse to the top of his speed at once.—
This enables you to press upon the buffaloe at the first
of the race, and when you approach within fifty or
sixty yards of them, you will find that they can let out
a few more links ; but if a bull is wounded, even wary
slightly, the moment you press hard upon him, be will
turn short around, curl his tail over his back, bow his
neck, and face you for a fight. At this time you had
as well keep at a convenient distance. If you keep
off abont fifty yards, he will wind, and you may load
and fire several times ; blare had better not fire 'this
head, for you will not hurt him much if you hit him,
for the bell will never penetrate through the seullbone.
Whenever you bring one to bey, if the country is Pei
too much broken, and your hone is goad, there is no
danger of his escape, eerie may shoot as often as you
please; end whenever you give the animal a deadly
shot, he will kick as if kicking at scene object that at
tacks him.
The buffalo, when incited. la very hard to WI sad
you may put seeeral balls through hie heart. and he
will thee aye, sotnethaas• for boors. The best place
to shoot them is behind the ahocilder, et do bulge of
the ribs, and just below the back bone, so as to pass
through the thick part cf the lungs. This is the most
deadly of all shots; and when yon see the animal
cough tip blood, it is unnecessary to shoot him any
more. When you shoot them through the longs, the
blood smothers them immediately. The hugs of the
'buffalo are very large, and easily hit by any son of 4,
marksman. If yob .pareae a buffalo, not wounded,
