To add to my previous thoughts..
I used to have a prey drive when I was younger, but that was also because I was in a social setting where everyone was 'playing wolf'. All my kintypes eat/hunt in groups most of the time. Of course this doesn't go for everyone, but I personally would definitely be more amped up if I was in a hunting group instead of by myself. Quite frankly, I have almost zero prey drive or hunting shifts when I'm by myself. Even if I'm hungry.. Also probably because now I'm just so used to having food without much effort. If I was surviving out in the wilderness, I'd have to tap into that (currently) dormant part of me.
