"The elders used to run for two days to catch deer, chasing them until they dropped."

I am reminded of Remington's "Tale of the Dry Leaves".

In many cases the sandals are made of rubber from worn out tires shaped to the foot and held on with twine. These people are truly amazing and are totally shunned by the Mexican government.

I used to "hunt" rabbits that way years ago. Caught a couple pheasant that way too.
