You are wrong. Here's the link to the Rockin' 7 Ranch in Wyoming where you can find the following different types of hunting:

Antelope hunting, mule deer hunting, prairie dog hunting, coyote hunting, buffalo hunting, and bird hunting.

I'm trying to figure out why you would assume you couldn't hunt buffalo. Did you think they were endangered or something?

BTW - You can also hunt buffalo in Colorado, and it doesn't even require a license.

No License is required to hunt Buffalo. A Colorado License is required to hunt Deer or Elk. To purchase a Colorado hunting license you must either have been born prior to 1949 or you must present an original Hunters Education or Safety Certificate. Check out the Colorado Division of Wildlife website for details. http://wildlife.state.co.us/ Traditional hunting clothes are fine for Buffalo, but blaze orange is required for deer or elk.

If the American Bison was endangered you couldn't find the meat at the local grocery store. Too much time spent believing everything you were told about the Old West without enough time spent understanding what current circumstances exist.

The animal to which you refer is the bison NOT the buffalo.

BISON

BUFFALO

The American Bison (Bison bison) is a North American species of bison, also commonly known as the American Buffalo. "Buffalo" is somewhat of a misnomer for this animal, as it is only distantly related to either of the two "true buffaloes", the Asian Water Buffalo and the African Buffalo.

Low, why don't we just go and try to claim that only the scientific name in Latin is valid?

Buffalo is common usage. I'll stick to it. I already knew the things your telling me, but language evolves, it is not governed by some universal law, and it has evolved in America so that Buffalo = Bison. There's nothing wrong with this.

And the context that we're talking about, it is. Common usage. Plus buffalo hunting is legal in Africa as well.

Sorry. The animal is /bison bison/ it is NOT a buffalo. And what the hell does Africa have to do with the price of cheese?
It was misnamed by early American settlers who did not know their asses from their elands.
Just ask Bison Bill!

The American Bison is the same thing. The settlers called them "buffalo" (and no, that doesn't mean that they are the same thing as African water buffalo, that is your own desperate stretch in the hopes you can convince somebody you are right)...

I see you are one of "those" people who can't admit when they are wrong. Your "confusion" is an inanity. Much like the Native Americans were called "Indians" (and still are).

Language and the naming of things is important. The words we use contain within them our history and our culture. Certainly language evolves and long may it do so. What will you eat today? A turkey? To the Chinese it is just a big chicken. Are they right or are they wrong? Certainly the history and significance of a big chicken are not the same as they are for a turkey.
Enjoy your big chicken.

A lot of words exist only because of misnamings. It's a trivial and pointless to set yourself up as the global language police attempting to right some ancient lingual wrong.

I was skirving through the turdler just the other day when I espied a fongrommet hiding beneath the nurdles. Well, quoth I to the fongrommet, even though it wirdled not my ranggion, 'Should I thwirt on your dillet?' The fongrommet looked at me for a whole santiolm then turned and chirked away.

Well, that's how we say it here. How would you say that in America?

We wouldn't. We have better things to do then talk to our brown growlers.

And what we call a robin, because whoever first identified it as such mistook it for a robin (much smaller) from the UK, is actually a species of thrush. But if you say "There's a robin on that branch" everybody knows exactly what you mean. In fact, all the field guides to North American birds call it a robin.

Ditto the American buffalo, or bison.
