Persistence Hunt

I posted a few weeks back about hunting. I mentioned in that post about the stalking techniques I learned at Tracker School and was asking the question about modern hunting and if it can really be called hunting. This video of the Bushmen of the Kalahari better demonstrates a portion of the technique I was speaking of. The Native Americans would have used similar techniques.



I think there is a spiritual connection between the hunter and the hunted and modern hunting techniques do not account for that. This video demonstrates it beautifully. As someone posted on the video
"this is the most honorable death for the animals.....to kill an animal suddenly with a gun or slow injection is wrong as well it is not natural...their spirit would not have prepared for death....as seen in this video the animal was so calm and prepared for its time to leave the earth."
I agree.
