In the height of the rutting-season, the flesh of the Buffalo bull is quite rank, and unfit to be eaten, except from necessity, and at this time the animal can be scented at a considerable distance.
Although large, heavy, and comparatively clumsy, the Bison is at times brisk and frolicsome, and these huge animals often play and gambol about, kicking their heels high in the air with surprising agility, and throwing their hinder parts to the right and left alternately, or from one side to the other, their heels the while flying about and their tails whisking in the air.
