Stop between outposts (I believe press Enter?)...there should be the option for Hunt. Be sure to shoot 4000+ pounds of meat, even though you can only carry 100 or so, it's more historically accurate;)

Click on the "Disk 2" button under the screen.

Why would anyone want to go to Oregon anyway? ;)

Back when I was playing this game in middle school, we always did that. Our comp teacher was disturbed by this, so she told us that if we kept shooting as many as we were, there would be fewer for us to hunt later in the game.

I kept shooting them anyway. :p

BTW, has anyone come across some gravesites? These were always good for a laugh in school. I've come across one in the game I was playing last night, but I don't know how this site stores/retrieves them.
