On the hunt, like many of Richardson's works, reflects the places our minds go when we have a response to fear. The creatures and situations that fill our imaginations when we are scared can feed into grand stories and tall tales that become our version of history.
Certain areas of wilderness become home to these creatures, their stories and are shared across generations. They become ingrained as part of our identities, informing our sense of who we are and our lore.
Myths and tales appear in lore globally, and while some of them may have originally emerged from sightings of real animals, their power grows with our fears and through sharing tales about them. On the hunt explores the myth and mystery of large feline creatures stalking rural areas, stories shared widely around the world.
