7. "At force" hunting was a group activity for two teams of often fit young men. They would hunt down animals to near exhaustion and then kill them. What are the two stages of the hunt?

  • "await prey" (wait for the animal to approach), attack viciously with no logic or planning
  • "at bay" (the animal could run no further and the dogs would be called off), the killing (with a sword/ spear, and then the dissection in a rituslaistic manner)
  • "pause" (wait for the animal to be at rest), the killing (with bows and arrows at a distance)
  • "hunt and kill" (self explanatory), the feast (the animal would be sacrificed to gaelic gods and then a feast would commence)
