Not completely exterminated. They almost became extinct though, but it was a combination of hunting and disease. Thanks to parks and reserves, populations are increasing.
I've always thought about trying hunting, but I've never gotten around to it. Why exactly have you never tried ? I know that hunting can be done for food or even for recreation I just never got the time to do it, but tell me, what are other reasons for hunting ? Another reason for hunting I can give you is for pest control That's interesting. Hunting has been around for a while, I'm sure. I don't have information about how long hunting has been around for, the information I have now is about Lawful hunting and poaching. Have you ever heard about this practice of illegal killing of hunted species ? Yeah, isn't that what exterminated the American bison or whatever?
They became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle, and have made a recent resurgence largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves.
