Would it not have been much easier to simply snare, trap, perhaps let them fall into a pit, or to capture them in cages and keep them as live stock instead of hunting them? It seems to me that when we see historic reenactments on TV they always portray ancient Native Americans and such with spears and bows and arrows, walking around hunting. Is this an accurate representation of how it was done?
Hi, this question is about human behaviour that reaches deep into prehistory (and even pre Homo Sapiens). For that reason, it would be worth x-posting to our sister sub /r/AskAnthropology. While there are some anthropologists here, there are more there, and with greater focus on earlier time periods and human evolution.
