Yes but that would -

Involve effort

Not get them some actually pretty tasty meat. (sorry vegans it's true, they're tasty.)

Not give them an excuse to cause suffering among the natives, whose land they were farming on anyways.

i mean, have you ever tried killing an animal? They sort of tend to uh. Move around.

Like you would need to essentially pay thousands of people over the period of years to cull the population of bison, and they did.

And to be clear, they didn't even really kill them for meat, im sure some did, but a lot of it was just to kill them.
