Hunting

Hunting is the practice of tracking and killing wildlife for various purposes, such as the collection of meat or skins.

The Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton hunted animals similarly to assassination targets, tracking and trapping several kinds that he encountered across the Frontier.

Though animals could be hunted in a variety of ways, the quality of the kill affected the price one could fetch for the skin. For an animal killed with a single strike from a bow or blade, the skin had a higher economic value, since bullets from a firearm or the rope dart would damage the pelt.

Hunting was both a lifestyle and a sport in the Frontier, so much so that the Hunting Society was one of the many factions during the American Revolutionary War. The club would invite skilled hunters such as Ratonhnhaké:ton to join their ranks, and would commonly request them to hunt rare animals.

Trivia

 * If a predator killed another animal, that animal could not be skinned, however if another character killed an animal, it could be skinned, though the spoils would be damaged.
 * When Ratonhnhaké:ton skinned an animal, he kneeled next to the carcass and said Niá:wen, which translates into  "Thank you" in Kanien'kehá:ka language, as a way of showing respect to nature for spoils of the hunt.
