Elephant Hunters - Idaho Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

Marker Name: Elephant Hunters Marker Type: Roadside Marker Text: Early day big game hunters who occupied lava caves around her more than 12,000 years ago, had a diet that included elephants, camels, and giant bison. When a gradual change to a warmer, drier, climate made local grasslands into more desert, their elephant herds left for cooler plains farther north. But 8,000 years ago, bison still were available here. Indians continued to hunt buffalo on these plains until about 1840. Then they had to go to Montana for their plains hunting trips.
