The Olsen–Chubbuck Bison kill site is a Paleo-Indian site that dates to an estimated 8000–6500 B.C. and provides evidence for bison hunting and using a game drive system, long before the use of the bow and arrow or horses. [1] The site holds a bone bed of nearly 200 bison that were killed, butchered, and consumed by Paleo-Indian hunters.
It contains the 10,000-year-old remains of up to 600 bison. [2] Open seasonally, the site features a visitor center with interpretive exhibits and views of the bones. Guided tours are available. [3] The Bison Trail to Toadstool Geologic Park is a 3-mile hike. Part of the site is protected by a building

The heaviest wild bull for B.b.bison ever recorded weighed 1,270 kg (2,800 lb) [34] while there had been bulls estimated to be 1,400 kg (3,000 lb). [35] B.b.athabascae is significantly larger and heavier on average than B.b.bison while the number of recorded samples for the former was limited after the rediscovery of a relatively pure herd. [23]

Bison antiquus is known from fossils found across North America south of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (whose southernmost extent is around the modern United States-Canada border), ranging from southern Canada (southern Alberta [8] and Ontario [10]) in the north, and Washingon State [11] and California [12] in the west, southwards to Southern Mexico [9] and eastwards to South Carolina and Florida.
