While hunting, you have access to several other commands that control your behavior. You can: 'track' to locate and identify evidence of game. 'ambush' to lie in wait for game to approach. 'pursue' to stalk prey that you have tracked. 'trap' to lay a trap for game while ambushing. 'bait' to lure game using food. 'fire' when wielding a loaded ranged weapon and near game in order to kill it. Should you begin tracking something that you are not interested in, you can use the 'track' command again to starting looking for something else. The choice on whether to ambush or pursue game depends largely on the game's habits. Generally, carnivores are unaccustomed to being hunted themselves and are easier to pursue, while herbivores are more easily ambushed. Should you fire at game and miss or only wound it, you will need to pursue to catch up to it again. Bait works best when adhering to an animal's preferred diet. Traps incur a small cost of gold, but if successfully trapped, game can be more easily slain and is less likely to escape. Otherwise, there is a chance that whatever you are hunting attacks you. Slain game can be butchered for meat and harvested for other resources. While any idiot can wield a knife and cut something up, those with a well honed hunter skill will be able to salvage far more meat in larger pieces. Additionally, those without at least some level of training may cut the wrong thing at the wrong time and mistakenly contaminate some of the meat. A few cases of people being poisoned by poorly cut meat crop up from time to time. In addition to flesh from various beasts, you can butcher fish you catch that weigh at least three pounds into more manageable pieces. If you want to butcher corpses, it is a good idea to turn off autosac.
