Frost liked to teach what he knew, he was taught to pass his knowledge to others especially young ones. He hoped that someday he would have his own children to pass his knowledge to. Amos started with a question, a good one indeed and it seemed he had somewhat figured the answer already.
"Your right, it all depends on your size and the animals size. You could easily take down a fawn with no problem, but a yearling may be difficult depending on it's size. I would look more towards does because they won't have the added antlers to worry about when taking down," he replied.
He went on to explain he was more of a opportunity hunter which Frost could understand, but it also could make the young male's survival rough if prey wasn't in big numbers. Though scavenging was also an option for a loner if it was needed.
"Well with picking up a trail you really can start anywhere, it depends on what your aiming to hunt. As far as what to look for would be tracks, scat, or even broken brush," he replied. "When looking to take down an animal I normally aim for the young, the old, the sick, or the already injured they would be the better choices. Sometimes it takes a few moments to sit and watch the herd before being able to see a good target."
