After carefully reviewing the information presented in the case study "Wyatt Earp – The Buffalo Hunter," which is included within Chapter 1 of Operations and Supply Management: The Core by F. Robert Jacobs, the connection between this historical account and fundamental economics becomes quite evident. The buffalo hunting circumstances described by Jacobs – as relayed by Wyatt Earp himself in Stuart Lake's biographical account Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal – represent a closed commercial market in which both supply and demand remain relatively constant. In this particular commercial environment, a business (the buffalo hunter and his assembled team of skinners, spotters and other hired hands) cannot effectively manipulate pricing, so the most effective method of ensuring profit margin is to streamline operations. Despite this economic truism, the average buffalo hunter during Earp's era "set out for the range with five four-horse wagons, with one driver, the stocktender, camp watchman, and cook; and four others to skin the kill … (and) provided horses, wagons, and supplies for several months" (Jacobs, 2009), basing their sizeable operational expenses on an expected haul of 100 felled buffalo per day. This volume-based approach required the average buffalo hunter to meet highly unsustainable quotas in order to meet the threshold of profitability, and the majority of hunting excursions resulted in take of only 50 or so hides, meaning the hunter's obligation to pay for outfitting, supplies and labor resulted in a net loss for days of hard labor.
