Apparently the Ndhzenga males chased all five of them away and stole the kill

Don’t like seeing Mohawk like this, wasn’t that long ago he was going into the BBoys territory back when there was two them, solo. Guess it’s better to be safe than sorry but his sons look big enough to compete now.

It was right around the same time that the N'was chased him back north too, he may not know they are only two now. Back then, which as you mentioned wasn't so long ago, Blondie was going in alone as well, he even killed some Kambula cubs on one of those excursions. They were both exuding so much confidence, as they knew they had each other. We've all been there, knowing your brother stands beside you can often make the difference, regardless of the odds. I don't think it would take much for Mohawk to regain his confidence, he just needs to see his sons ready to take a stand with him, and as we see, currently he knows they are going to run, even if he were to take a stand he'd e doing so alone. Mohawk still has the same heart he's always had, he just isn't suicidal. I think Mohawk can still have a lot of time left, maybe even become dominant again, it's the sons who seem to remain skeptical. None of the Avocas have ever lacked in confidence, even DM, who I think he only knew his own limitations after his injury, confidence seems part of their DNA.

I was actually going to comment how these young males are getting some incredibly valuable training right now, training they would have had to learn on their own had the cards played out in typical fashion. That kind of live and learn, on the job training, can often have dire consequences. Reply
