You could be right about establishing the year. I'll have a think about it.
Not sure about starting at stanza 3, on the one hand it does take the reader straight into the action, which usually I try to do, but equally it loses the sketch of the landscape which gives the poem space. Again I will have a think about it.
The hunter theme is part of the duality of the poem. It's probably how the majority of the human race gets meat, and someone who does hunt would have a different reaction to someone whose meat comes prepacked in the abstract.
Thanks for reading.
