HUNTING THE BUFFALO. AKA and see "Hunting for the Buffalo," "We're Gonna Hunt the Buffalo." American, Reel (cut time). USA, Arkansas. A Major. Standard or BEgb tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody is apparently not related (according to Drew Beisswenger) to an old play-party song from the Ozarks, with similar and various titles such as "Shoot the Buffalo" and "Gonna Go Huntin' for the Buffalo." Mike Seegar plays a version learned from singer, songwriter and fiddler Jimmy Driftwood (1907-1998, born John Morris of Timbo, Arkansas), who had the tune from his two fiddler uncles who lived in Indian territory for years.
