How does he get the carcass back to his tribe?
That hunter earned his food and respected the animal he killed.
Gabriel, It really must be hard work bringing back such a large animal. I don't know how they would do it.
As far as it being more cruel, I agree that the animal experienced more fear because of the duration of the chase, but it is more heartless to shoot a creature for pleasure.
Awesome comment, you must teach me more of this dating philosophy.
I loathe hunting, but if you have to do it to feed youself etc be practical and grant the animal a swift death. Dying of exhaustion sounds awful and it's also a waste of time and energy resources for the hunter.
You would come out way ahead even if that animal only has about 800 calories per pound.
She had the benefit of cookies.
Do you guys get this stuff from watching "Pocahontas" or what? Before the La-Z-Boy was invented, nobody spouted this philosophical claptrap about what you ate and how you got it.
Chow down!
