There at yellowstone!
They are at Yellowstone but they're also at the National Bison Range by Moise MT very close to where I grew up. My Grampa worked there for awhile too. They were on the menu at school Hot lunch and mighty tasty! Heck I see the big shaggies down here in Idaho. Wish I could've seen the old days. Mighty thoughtful picture Rock home isle! 
We have them here near Waterton/Glacier park. Wife takes photos of them all the time. About 40 minutes from home.

Never have yet. I don't name my food either.
Fifty cal flinter pistol is āFlashā and the fifty cal percussion pistol is āThunderā.
Couple pics from today as me and my 14 year old wander up to Wy for the Rocky Mountain Rendezvous.
We stopped at Point of Rocks in Kansas. Thatās the Cimmaron branch of the Santa Fe trail in the pics below the rock outcropping. Last pic is us standing in the trail ruts with the Point behind us.
Iām hold my .62 caliber LaReyna, my son has his .58 Rice barreled Leman (he hasnāt named her yet). LaReyna is exactly the gun I would have wanted on the Santa Fe trail in the mid 1820āsā¦fast handling and hard hitting!

I think it was Hardin who had a pair of Colts by the same names.

I haven't named a firearm in 53 years and only then that was in bootcamp. The drill Instructor had us in
formation and told us to name our M14 rifles starting from the right anyone who used the same name had to do "bends and thrusts forever" I was lucky to be among the first I blurted out Doretta. The exercise was
an example of paying attention in stressful situations. Later that night we had to sleep with our ladies.
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

Thank you all for playing.
Sometimes one needs to have fun with things. However, some of you sound like dour Calvinists - but hell - even 1700 Calvinists named their guns. Bet some here only call their dog "dog," their horse "horse."
As the joker said to batman = Why so serious?

Certainly had names for all my dogs & cats etc. Living, breathing, loving fur balls. But, Inanimate objects? I don't know, just never seemed to happen for me?

Most hunter-gatherer cultures have believed that all objects have a spirit. Food objects specifically. ( that would include plants)
āThe greatest peril of life lies in the fact that human food consists entirely of souls. All the creatures that we to kill and eat, all those that we have to strike down and destroy to make clothes for ourselves, have souls, souls that do not perish with the body and which must therefore be pacified lest they revenge themselves on us for taking away their bodies.ā
ā Knud Rasmussen
Also, naming things is a sense of taking pride and relationship. That is why pioneers renamed places they went to - to establish relationships and ownership.
