Really. You shoot 1 buffalo, you're done. You can only carry 100 pounds back to the wagon. But, I don't think that ever stopped any of us from shooting 3 buffalo, 2 deer, and 6 rabbits per hunting trip.

In some of the later editions they added a random event where if you went hunting you might suffer a gunshot wound from a ricocheted bullet. Except it wasn't so random as every other time you went out there you'd god damn shoot yourself. The makers were deliberating socially engineering kids to be against hunting by making them think that hunting=your own ass got shot!
Or at least, that's my theory. I need a chalkboard to fully flesh it out.

Bullets were cheap. There was no reason to not take a ton of them and destroy any woodland critters you came across.
I don't think you could make it to Oregon on just hunting, though.
My copy of Oregon Trail has first-person shooting for the hunting.

That's stupid, quite simply because by the 1850's and 60's, misfires didn't happen too often. Now if Dick Cheney was in your party....

Richochets weren't likely since the shots were soft lead balls, that would splatter on anything hard. However, there were other thing to worry about. Such as pre-igniting the powder charge before the cap was ready. Or common to revolvers, was that igniting one chamber sometimes ignited multiple chambers. The trick to prevent this was after loading the powder and bullet in each chamber, was to top them off with lard. /FunUselessFact

In the later versions (3rd and on??) they went to 1st person shooting, and that's when the ricochet crap got added in. If you shot a rock or tree you had a high chance of shooting yourself. Later it didn't matter if you simply shot into the sky...you had a high chance of accidently shooting yourself. Killed the game. My strategy was always to not buy meat and just hunt on the way but this ended that.
It's sad this winds up being the video game I talk about the most on this freaking site...

I loved that. I loved the Donkey Kong vs. Mortal Kombat and GTA Frogger videos too.
