WILD BILL: So you're a buffalo butcher?
BUFFALO BILL: Buffalo hunter.
WB: You have to hunt buffalo?

That’s completely untrue, sure there were many methods. Corralling them, sneaking up dressed in animal skins, etc. but Buffalo were hunted for thousands of years by humans. They definitely ran.
They still do. I went on a Buffalo hunt in the Henry Mountains with a buddy of mine. One of the very few free ranging Buffalo hunts in the US. They fricking run when they see you. He shot his cow in a canyon at about 300 yards because he snuck up and used the terrain to advantage, but they spooked many times based on scent and sight before that

For hundreds of years before the white man introduced guns to the Indians out west, they hunted them with spears and bows and arrows. Yes, they hunted them and chased them on horseback to get close enough to kill them.
They sure as hell didn't just stroll up to the herd and take their pick.
