says to ALL: *Tuchuk women fight, mostly with bows, and I had taken one of the light hornbows, made for a woman's strength, when I left there. I string the bow, place some hunting arrows into my quiva, put my dagger into the sheath on the outside of my right boot, and belt-on the quiva, tying the bottom of the sheath to my left thigh, and straightening the long blade along the outside of my left hip. Finally, with the bow in my left hand, I lay an arrow on the guide, fit it to the string, and hold the arrow in place by curling my index-finger over the top of the arrow and pressing it down against the arrow-guide. I then take a short throwing-spear in my right hand, holding it at the center of balance, as I set out hunting.*

says to ALL: *Hunting is poor in this part of the Forest, because there is no undergrowth to shelter small game, and nothing for the big herbivores to eat. That makes it a good place for solitary camping though, because there is little reason for big predators, such as panthers and sleen, to be here. This time of year, animals will generally be traveling south to find fresh green shoots, so I set out towards the north.*

is along a game trail
says to ALL: *I stake out a nice ambush spot on the game trail, planting my spear blade in the ground, to free my hands to use the bow. The trail curves around a tree here, and I can stand with my back to the tree, and set up a hand mirror so that I can see essentially behind me, and now when something is coming up the trail before he/she/it can see me. I am facing south, with a north-wind blocked by the tree at my back. Now the key is to blank my mind, and stay ready and motionless at the same time.*

A rustling is heard off to Your left, a glimpse seen of tabuk fleeing the vicinity of Your presence.

says to ALL: *The arrow already on the bow, I get off a snap-shot at the tabuk's big backside, and I hear the beast fall, then scramble up and start running. I will have to wait here, then track the blood-trail later. Hopefully, if not pursued, the tabuk will run a ways, lay down to rest, and bleed out before sunset. If I track the beast now, it might run all the way to Lydius before it drops.*
