Beginning in the 1670's, Spanish journals record bison in Florida, especially in the panhandle, and in neighboring states. While these bison were commonly hunted by Native Americans and Spaniards, and bison robes were common possessions,

I don't recall ANYONE saying the critters were mistreated or poorly cared for here in The Villages.
