Reactions and Reviews
1976
Another shore leave party, Doris Beetem's "The Hunting," is also essentially unchanged. Published originally in 1972 in Eridani Triad #3, it is about a Vulcan hunting ritual to prove one's adulthood. The idea is original and the story quite well executed. There were just a few spots where a different choice of words would have improved the telling, for instance on page 137, "Catching the polite battle stance of his science officer and chief medical officer. Kirk extrapolated..." [1]

Spock and McCoy go on shore leave and some of Spock’s weird vulcan ways puts them in trouble. Nice exploration in character bonding, but not much else. [2]
2009
I didn't think much of this one. The characterisation was a bit iffy, and the writing quality was pretty ordinary. Spock/McCoy shippers might find something to play with in there, but for me it was really a non-event. [3]
