The men kept shooting one at a time leaving many dead. They realized they started to run out of ammo so they started to conserve it as much as possible. The boars was eating/digging away at the root of the tree attempting to knock the trees down. They ran out of ammo and now even more boars showed up to help cut down the trees the men was in. Right before the trees fell the main character leaped from one tree to the next to try and get away. He watched the other men fall to their death and be eaten alive by the boars. That is when he realized not to hunt for pleasure but to only hunt for a purpose. He ran back to the boat and got out of there. |
