Double Barrel Bison
1923 30¢ Double Bison with post ‘Kill’ hand stamp. Deeply engrained in the Buffalo’s psyche is the vision of a man looking down the barrel of a shotgun. Nowadays they are often seen being shot through a camera lens.
Close to 60 million were slaughtered during the western settlement of the US, and by the late 1880’s only a few hundred bison remained- living wild in Yellowstone. Since prehistoric times, Yellowstone has had a continuously free-ranging bison population.
