In the same year, tanners discovered how to tan bison hides and sell them for commercial use on a wide
scale, and increasing market demand led to a railstop purchase price of about $3.00 per bison hide. A
typical hide crew consisted of 4 men who formerly worked as laborers: one shooter, two skinners, and
a cook/camp hand. A skilled skinner could skin 30 bison per day, while a good hunter could kill 60
bison per day. If the crew actively hunted 25 days in a month, and produced 60 marketable bison hides
per day, how much would a 4-man bison hide crew earn in one month (assuming they did not sell the
meat, bones, or other marketable items from a bison carcass)?
