    Nah, we min maxed for this already. I mean not me, I’m terrible at running. But I imagine if you go back far enough one of my ancestors was good enough at long distance running that we could eventually chase that horsey down and bang it in the head with a rock when it’s all tired out.

        If that ancestor also can track it down, maybe.

        I mean, considering one of our ancestors had to at some point catch one to ride, I’m sure they could manage.

        You… probably not.

        Probably is gracious of you, considering I haven’t been hunting in like 20 years.

          There is always the possibility that the horse trips and breaks a leg while running away.

      I imagine they’ll still have thrown or slung something at a distance. Why risk the horse in its desperation giving you a botched chest surgery if you can outrange it?

        I mean someone at some point did have to manage it, they were our primary mode of transportation for a while.

          Trapping and feeding goes a long way too.

          The saying “You catch more flies with honey than vinegar” isn’t for nothing.

          And don’t underestimate the humans ability to pet the fuck out of everything!

          Animals love receiving pets and we, humans, love petting animals.
