Gore was a good name for him.

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."

A tale of Gore

Dubious hunting ethics of 19th-century nobleman earned him a spot on the list of 'Jerks in Montana History'

Records even the body count junkies that post on this site can’t even aspire to

And now he's got all sorts of stuff named after him! If I remember correctly, before he went back to Europe, he burned all of his possessions simply so that no body could use them.

Got lowballed so he burned it all in front of the guys store. I think the modern term for that is "Eff You" Money

I drive by the location he did this at weekly for work and laugh every single time.

At first I thought this was about Al Gore…… then I read more lol

 

[Hilljackoutlaw]

They mention him in PBS's series The American Buffalo. So I started researching him. Probably a good thing he got to kill all those animals or else he probably would of resorted to a serial killer.

If memory serves me correctly he is the first story in a book roughly titled Jerks in montana history.

No mention of manbearpig made me think it was a different guy.

In the end a band of Teton Sioux got a windfall of supplies and clothing.
