Do NOT eat the brains or spine, particularly if chronic wasting disease is in your area. The bladder can be stitched shut and inflated to make a ball. Boil the bones for broth to make soup. Try tanning the hide; you can use the brain and/or acorns if you feel adventurous.
Also, the Indians didn't give jack shit about nature. They regularly stampeded entire herds of buffalo over cliffs, picked and chose the parts they wanted, and left the rest to rot. Don't buy into the noble savage myth.
