Greetings Steem family it's a pleasure to be with you today to share a hunt in which I also participated in.
You might wonder; what did they chase after? Which animal was it? Did they catch it? How did it go? Let's find out.

What Is Hunting?

Hunting I'd a type of sport which involves the chasing and capturing of animals for food or other purposes. According to Oxford Learners Dictionary, hunting is "chasing and killing wild animals and birds as a sport or for food."

Many people hunt mostly for the purpose of killing and eating it. This is same thing that happened here. This is the little story that narrates what the hunting was all about.

One faithful afternoon while I was going through this street to go see a friend. I came by some men who has been targeting a bush meat for some days now (According to the man who started the hunt). As the other men asked him what he was doing with a matchet in his hands, he replied that there is a big bush meat hiding in the shallow bush close by.
As he went close, the big healthy rodent ran out and entered a thicker bush. I and the other 4 men gathered around not lacking stones in our hands.

The man used his sharpened matchet to clear some areas of the bush where it ran into as he was told by a man who was eagerly after it. The closer the matchet got to it, the bush meat ran out again escaping some stones and was hit by a stone. On the chase, the younger man fell down, my stones finished and it escaped the both of us and ran across the road to another bush.

We continued the chase with matchet, sticks and finished stones. We tried holding it back from a bush thicker than the others. We thought it will be caught since it was no longer running fast as before because it has been hit. Then, suddenly, it passed through the gutter and got away. We did not fully believe it has gotten away until a huge path of the bush covering the gutter was cleared.

With disappointments in our faces, we went back sadly. I later found out that I have gone very far away from the where I was going because of chasing after a bush meat that I could not wait till it's done 😂😂. I wanted to help.

I ran back to see my friend and went home before it was dark. I didn't want to tell anyone. My mind could not get over the bush meat. It was as big as a matured rabbit or even bigger and looked healthy. The meat from it would have been bigger than that from a broiler when cooked.

Although we tried our best to capture this huge meat, nearly could not kill a bird in this case, a bush meat. We had some injuries like scratches and I felt sorry for the man who cut his thumb and it was bleeding. I don't like seeing blood 🙈🥺. I wasn't able to capture it because I was chasing after it too.

@chimeroselam, your story is heart touching! So, the man cut his thumb and same time missed the target. But, generally, you guys deserve to be laughed at 😀. It's funny 🤣. And the funniest part of it all is how busy you were capturing pictures. Keep posting this kind of story.

Thanks you very much for your remarks, those are indeed great.

Sudden sport engaged through hunting a bush meat , that indeed refused to be hunted . So sorry for you guys efforts . Though, it truly seems as kind of shadow chasing things . Just because you guys were unable to get that bush meat , hunted to show forth.

I guess you got it right Buddy. Thanks
