Why don't you just stop? Yes, you're being ridiculous, and more ridiculous still for having no reason to be so. WTF are you even droning on about with this "embrace the hunt" shit..lol? You made a silly statement, about cavemen being dumbasses who fought sabre toothed cats....like you imagine you would if you were a much Chadlier person yourself, lol.
They weren't. Fact. End of story.
You don't have to let the lion give you anything. If you do, you're missing the point. That's the difference between the "hunter" and the "hunted." The "hunted" thinks like you.
Think like a "hunter" and you'll realize that the lion(s) have to sleep, you'll know how to cover your scent, you'll know how to draw it to the trap when you are ready. You assume too much of the lion. It's not out looking for prey all day. It's hunts when it's optimal so it has a distinct advantage. You do the same. You hunt it so that you have a distinct advantage instead.
End of Story
Yeah, not really the 'end of story'.
Could you explain why Ogg would make all the preparations to go out and hunt lions, a pack animal notorious for being heavy in the teeth, claws, and poor disposition departments, when it would be so much easier to snare unsuspecting herbivores? You know, dig a pitfall, let the animal trap itself, and then drop rocks on it til it stops wiggling.
