[Once Shun hears what the bulk of this is, he isn't really interested in participating in it. Hunting of the kind that mostly involves humans (or dogs, for that matter) has too many negative associations for him, and he can't bring himself to step in as part of it.
However, those who go out into the forest and end up attacking any of the Sika deer, whether accidentally or intentionally, may find their efforts intervened with by a blue robotic bird holding its flat wings akin to a shield. Those who have seen Shun's Raid Raptors before might recognise his style, but otherwise, it's a seemingly random intervention...and while the bird doesn't appear aggressive right now, it lets out something of a grinding metallic chitter when it's hit.]

[Shun was never going to not participate in falconry to some degree, especially since he's used some similar techniques in his training of the vultures that live around his temple. As such, he's well aware of the proceedings and methods of handling, though he doesn't bother with the gloves usually used either, since he knows from experience his coat is sturdy enough to withstand talons biting at it.
Even though he's trying to focus on working with a single falcon, a few of the other birds have followed him off to the side (specifically, the other falcons, as opposed to the hawks and various other birds of prey available). The result is that it ends up looking much like he has an audience, and after a while, he gives an irritated sigh and offers his other arm out so one or two of them can hop up onto it as well.
And then he immediately turns to anyone who looks like they might be able to take some of this business off his hands.] If you're trying this too, you might as well take one of these ones, if they're this ready to go.

[c: the great hunt]
[Shun's mostly been going through the forest to spot and defend any wrongly targeted Sika, but once he picks up the presence of the ayakashi deer, that definitely goes on his radar as well. And he definitely needs some more experience using some of his new shinki on the battlefield rather than just in practice.
He can be spotted jumping through the trees with a long poleaxe held in one hand. Those who ever saw Ren in a fight may recognise it as having been one of his shinki vessels, but rather than the black metal it had been with Ren, for Shun the weapon is a deep golden. The ease with which he wields it indicates he's been practicing with it, at least, which might be reassuring when the bellow of a blighted, enraged ayakashi deer emerges through the trees and Shun pauses on his branch.]
Another one, then. But if you're out here I assume you're prepared to deal with an actual fight. [Shun gives an aside glance to whoever happens to be nearby. He's not fond of the hunt proper and it's obvious, but an angry ayakashi is a legitimate risk.]

[d: wildcard]
[[I'm open to doing "a different sort of hunt" prompts, especially as Shun does have one specific overseas cultist location and is aware of them having operated in Egypt as well, but please hit me up about those first by PM or at reviseleviathan so I can write a proper starter!]]
