Wild Game Plentiful in Early Nebraska When the early pioneers used to reminisce about the changes that had taken place in Nebraska during their years here, they fre quently lamented the passing of the era of good hunting. Wild game was plentiful in old Nebr aska, and hunting provided relief for the monotony of the table as well as for the monotony of daily tasks. A considerable portion of William Stolley’s “History of the First Settlement of Hall County,” published by the State Historical Society in 1946, is given over to Jales of hunting trips in central INebraska in the early 1860’s. Buffalo could still be found west of Grand Island, and each fall some of the men in the pio neer community would set out on a buffalo-hunting expedition to fill their family larders for the coming winter and to enjoy the sport. The story of the expedition of 1862 may be of interest. Four men, including Stolley and Henry Vieregg, went hunt ing that fall on Elm Creek, 35 miles west of Ft. Kearny. One morning they discovered six buffalo and Stolley and Vieregg approached them carefully. Taking cover in a dried up water course, they were able to get within 100 paces of the shag gy beasts. Though armed only with muzzle-loading guns, they brought down all six animals, one after another, without moving a step out of their position. Stolley explained their success by the fact that they were down wind from their prey. The buffalo heard the shots, but being unable to see or smell the hunters, they soon resumed their feeding. It was a different story when the buffalo caught the scent of a human being—then they would flee when the hunter was miles away. Even though game was plenti ful, a successful hunter had to know the pecularities of the game he sought. Deer, like buffalo, had a keen sense of smell, and de pended very little upon their eyes. Antelope however, were dif ficult to hunt because of their extraordinarily sharp sight. Tenderfeet there were in those days as there are today. Stolley tells of one of the early pioneers following rabbit tracks in the snow in the direction from which the rabbit come! “A hunter of that sort,” he wrote, “even if in possession of the best of arms, naturally would have starved in the midst of thou sands of buffalo, elk, and antelope had not the Town Company fur nished the food and other people carried him along.” Huskers Bopped in Homecoming— The University of Nebraska Cornhuskers outyarded and out downed the University of Minne sota Gophers in a homecoming grid classic Saturday in Memorial stadium at Lincoln, but the Goph ers won, 13-7.
