WhistlingBadger:
Just in case primitive archery isn't quite challenging enough for you...

That is too COOL! New approach to ambush hunting!

WhistlingBadger:
Yeah, it is cool.  It kind of bugs me that they wear the animal out (in winter no less) then let it go.  Seems like it would be easier to lasso the thing and then just put a spear in it.  I've read about all kinds of persistence hunting around the world.  Pretty brutal stuff, but yeah, it is cool that people are tough enough and skilled enough to do this.

Easy prey for wolves now. I agree its fascinating that it's possible, but sad that it's done as a sport vs perhaps a culture event that produces meat.
