Boone hunted turkeys as food, not to sell, and he also occasionally killed panthers and wolves. Panther skin was not readily marketable but had ceremonial value. When Boone and other Boonesborough leaders parleyed with their Indian besiegers during the siege of Boonesborough in 1778, the Indians spread a panther skin on a log for the negotiators to sit on.
