Or are you saying that hunting animals was not a popular pastime amongst military castes? Either way, I am not going to be removing my opinion, wrong or right it is a supposition about the hunt as military training (we know for example that the Mongols did exactly this, which is to say used the hunt to train for military purposes).

    It is a joyful thing indeed to hold intimate converse with a man after one’s own heart, chatting without reserve about things of interest or the fleeting topics of the world; but such, alas, are few and far between.
