Unlike group hunting, individual lion hunting is not necessarily planned ahead of time, but in many cases such hunting happens at random, usually when a warrior is out grazing livestock. The Journey of Lion Hunting The lion hunting journey starts at early dawn before anyone in the community is awake. The reason warriors leave villages at early dawn is to avoid chances of encountering people opposed to the practice. This rejection often creates dispute within the group, as not every young warrior will accept to return home. When this happen, the dominant group and the rejected young warriors often challenge one another using clubs and shields.
Losers are always the young warriors.
Despite this, they still believe that the challenge is worth enough a try. The fight between young and older warriors could potentially pose a major conflict to the dominant group, as some of their members might stress favoritism towards individuals from the group of young warriors, usually a relative from their clan or family. This situation can push the decision making process into extremes. Nevertheless, if this happen, the battle is treated as part of the learning process. Group dynamic is treated by warriors as progress.
