I can't believe I never read about this guy's insane killing excursion before. This guy was considered a lunatic even in the 1850s. Haha
"It is estimated that Gore killed more than 4,000 bison, 1,500 elk, 2,000 deer, 1,500 antelope, 500 bear and hundreds of smaller animals and birds. Walter writes that about half of those were killed in the Yellowstone River Valley during Gore' s 10-month stay on the Tongue River."
