Plus, keep in mind that it was seen as an easy way to make money without really working for it if you were the shooter, not the skinner.
This business attracted all sorts of lazy types who wanted to make a buck but didn't want to work for it. Tales of making "big money" for hides were what drew a lot of men into the business.

No different than today's "get rich quick" schemes.
