Another hunter is added here. It was mostly cloned from a hunter above the buffalo, then touched up around edges with clone and smudge tools.

A new layer is added in dark brown, then moved to layer behind the hunting background layer. Now the edges are shaped with eraser tool to look torn.

Burn tool is used around edges, but not evenly all around. It is more interesting if done unevenly, a little darker in some places than others.
