    What I never got about this theory is, fine, you run after the Ptadgedrwgydon for 87kms, when it gives up due to exhaustion and you kill it with a stone. What now? You’re 87kms away with a carcass that weighs 500kg, how do you get back the food to the tribe?

      This is how we learned to be nomads. Kill big thing, bring camp to big thing, hang out until big thing is all eaten.

      Group hunting for mega-fauna. Partial field-processing of remains, beyond a dressing.

      idk, moose hunters might still. Is there a moose hunter at the forum today…?

        Moose hunters just shoot them these days. The only time anyone is running any more is when they are headed to a charger for their phone because the charge is down to 10%

      I figured they chased them in a big circle. Or did laps. Or anything other than a completely straight line.

          Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic but yeah. Head them off in the direction you want them to go, just like sheepdogs do.
