You have a tutorial, but if the tutorial is completed, you know how to hunt. Thus I tried to do that. Turns out you are physically incapable of hunting (or rather, catching) anything until the main game tutorial is completed. Thus I was slightly confused why there would be two tutorials when the first one isn't able to unlock hunting once you enter the main game.
So the order of things you have to do, to anyone who plays this is (Singleplayer as reference):
1. Join a Clan
2. Find the Clan.
3. Do the steps to hunt again.
4. AND NOW you'll be able to catch prey.
Where as before, I could try to hunt, pounce directly on the prey, and it wouldn't register that I was there.
