My problem with this is that it implies a comparison between a
process (hunting) and a creature (prey). I think you mean to
compare two experiences. For that, I think you'd be better with
one of those rare uses (and I mean this really needs to remain
rare) of {-ghach}.
chonlI'ghach qaq law' chonta'ghach qaq puS.
Think about it.
