In order to provide meat for the families of their villages, the Ciboleros made hunting trips through the valleys and mountains of Eastern New Mexico, following the buffalo over to the Llano Estacado of Western Texas. These hunts usually occurred during October, after the crops had been harvested, and the weather was still mild. Also, the buffalo hides were in prime condition that time of the year.Capturing the buffalo was accomplished at times by trapping them in long, deep trenches where they would use their spear to kill them. Other times they would ride their ponies along side of the buffalo, spearing them "on the run."
