What is an effective way to hunt animals with a wooden spear?

I am kind of new to Rust and I am struggling badly to hunt, e.g. for a horse. It keeps running away, even if I sneak and am behind it's back. I do not have cloth to make a bow, and I had no luck to find wolves or bears that I could just charge. What are the most effective ways of hunting animals that run? I also know that you can throw the spear, but my aim is terrible, unless he is about 2-3 meters away
