Bear Hunt
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”One scout takes on the role of the »bear« and leaves the camp with tracker irons on their feet, a pouch of grain or peas, and 6 balls (tennis or cloth). Half an hour later, the patrol sets out on their trail; each »hunter« is armed with a ball. The bear may hide or move freely, but on hard or very muddy ground, they must leave a trail every few meters in the form of a few grains of grain or peas. If the hunters do not find the bear, the game is unresolved. When they approach closely, the bear throws balls at them; a hit hunter is eliminated as »dead« and can neither shoot nor participate further in the game. If a hunter hits the bear with a ball, the bear counts as »wounded«, and after three hits, as »killed«. Balls may be thrown only once; they cannot be collected and reused in the same game. Only after the game ends does each scout retrieve and return their ball. In winter, on snow, the game can be played without irons but on skis; snowballs are used instead of balls.
