Hunting is a highly rewarding even if risky vocation, but in the Nuosu-Yi animistic world, killing certain species of wild animals may bring misfortune to hunters and their families. With the implementation of the relevant regulations of national ecological protection in China, such as the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Wildlife (Zhonghua Renmin Gongheguo Yesheng Dongwu Baohu Fa 中华人民共和国野生动物保护法), hunters are no longer allowed to hunt in the forest. Although the former hunters can no longer hunt, and many have died of old age, some of their descendants are still troubled by the fact that their forebears had hunted in the past. Following the descendant of a hunter who is no longer living, this chapter recounts his story and the troubles he met. Through this hunter’s tale, I throw light on Nuosu concepts of ecological protection, animal protection, and more, as part of their animist approach to forestry protection.
