Benin makes the first hit, and now the monkeys scatter. Once shot, the monkeys must be tracked as the curare-vine poison takes effect. This monkey’s already weak, but it’s hiding, and must be flushed out. They shoot again. But it’s stuck in a vine now, and there’s no choice but to go and get it. Once down, but it’s just the beginning. As one of the swiftest hunters, it’s Benin’s job to pick off any escaping monkeys. He shoots another but misses. Benin fires again, this time on target. The monkey finally stops and Benin takes aim one last time. Eight monkeys. It’s been a good day. But all too often they return empty-haned.
