“A snare is a sort of hunting tool. It’s a long, strong rope or cord made from leather, like we’re doing here, fibrous plants worked together, which is way easier for primates to achieve than us with our paws, or metal wire, but that’s hard to come by. You hang it in a loop along a rabbit trail, or even a deer trail, and attach the tail end to the top of a sapling pole.” "Ohhh," She let out a low noise of surprise for the explanation the older male gave,this was certainly something she would love to learn more from,if she wanted to be a good hunter she would have to gather all knowledge and experience she could get. She paid attention as he made a sort of visual explanation on the soil,and as he was giving the respective information about what they were doing she felt highly excited to learn more.“The sapling pole is bent downward and fastened with a toggle that will pop loose with very little pressure or effort. The loop of the snare is held open carefully, and sometimes you put something tasty to hares on one side to encourage them to stick their heads through. When they disturb the loop or push through it with their front end, it shakes the loop loose and they might startle enough to pull the snare tight, and that jolts the sapling and releases the toggle." "Ohh I see," He later clarified how the snare worked to kill the target or hold it in place in the case of larger prey. "And for how long would it hold on until the hunter arrives? For larger prey would we need larger structures? Does it work with elk?" More questions she made as the more she heard him the more she felt interested in the subject. He later on described what the bracer was, showing his had bear claws to deal damage. "They look awesome! Are they hard to do?" She then paid attention to his next moves. Seeing how he used the strips.She didnt say anything else,she just wanted to observe and after that she could ask. |
