If the caribou did not swerve from this course they would pass close to a projecting point of land, a half-mile up the lake.

So, keeping a wary eye upon them, the hunter ran swiftly.

He had not hunted antelope and buffalo on the plains all his life without learning how to approach moving game.

As long as the caribou were in action, they could not tell whether he moved or was motionless.

In order to tell if an object was inanimate or not, they must stop to see, of which fact the keen hunter took advantage.
