Well, could you? Probably you could, if there were enough of
you and you didn’t all run away.
The chances are that some of you would get hurt, though.
Neanderthal skeletons show signs of many broken bones, and
the pattern of these injuries echo the injuries sustained by rodeo riders, who
also, of course, get up close to wild animals.
In SONG HUNTER my heroine Mica is terrified of the great bulls,
but she still has to go out hunting for them.
It’s hunt or starve for her people.
Which would you choose?
I would probably starve. It would be a very lame boar indeed who couldn't get away from me. I cannot run...maybe someone would take pity on me and chew up a bit of boar for me now and then. Hope so!
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps you could be the one back at headquarters scraping the hides and child-minding. It must have been a good few years before the children would have been any use at hunting, so child-minders must have been much needed.
