If you are rolling through North Dakota on I-94 you can pull into Jamestown(100 miles East of Fargo and/or 100 miles West of Bismarck). They have the National Buffalo Museum http://www.buffalomuseum.com/ Right outside the Museum is a large herd of Buffalo. And the World's largest Buffalo https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2711 White Cloud is no longer there as she passed a few years ago but I think they have her mounted at the museum. I think her offspring is still there though.
They didn't. It's hard to build chutes and corrals strong enough to hold them. Ted Turner bought several ranches close to where I grew up to raise buffalo and my buddy's dad worked for him. They used interstate guard rail bolted to railroad ties for fence when they had to give them shots and pour them for lice and things. One bull hit the guard rail so hard it broke a railroad tie off at the ground. Said they all looked at each other like "wtf."
Don’t feel bad it was a museum piece. Looked immaculate though we fooled a lot of people. Just eye-fucking everyone on the road:

I live not too far from a national wildlife refuge that has a herd. We go see our pals quite often. RIP Sparky. https://www.fws.gov/news/blog/index.cfm/2018/3/30/In-Memory-of-Sparky-the-Worlds-Toughest-Bison
1892 Those are bison skulls, as we tried to exterminate the species. By this time bison were almost extinct. Skulls were collected from earlier hunts to process for glue and fertilizer.
