Capture

Just wondering if the "Prey" (those being hunted) are allowed to grab the "talon" and take it from the "Hunters" and keep it away from them until the clock runs out for the day? Or turn it on the hunters and tag them Out? Can you run up and tackle a hunter and knock the talon loose and hide it? What if the hunter is close to you and you punch them or hit them with a club and keep them from getting to you? Can you climb a tree and sit up there with a sharp stick all day and keep them from climbing up after you? What if three or four or all the teams being hunted surrounded the hunters and tied them up and took away the talon? Just wondering, I never heard the MC recite a list of rules before the game started?
