Meat food is more nutritious than plant-based foods, and in some places, meat may more readily available than plant-based foods. But to get the meat, it is necessary to understand the behavior of all kinds of wild animals and how to capture them.
In order to meet the need, you should first look for large amount and easier to capture the animal, such as insects, crustaceans, mollusks, fish and reptiles.
insects
There are many kinds of insects, they thrive in many parts of the world, is an important source of food, and most insects is easily caught with the hand, including large grubs (insect larvae), locusts and grasshoppers, ants and termites. You can fry, boil, or roast them to eat, or you may prefer to put them and the other food in the stew, it will taste better. You even can be eaten raw, in addition to the grasshopper. Grasshoppers may have harmful parasites (don’t eat grasshoppers thigh, because above have barb, may be stuck in the throat). Insects are high in fat, high protein content than beef and many insects, and even the whole body is composed of protein.
You can in the rotten logs, wood grubs under the ground, the withered bark found. Locusts and grasshoppers, the ants live in temperate and tropical areas. Termites usually live in the jungle.
Aquatic animals
Where there is water, lakes, streams, rivers, oceans, etc., you’ll never be hungry. Most of fresh water and salt water would have crustaceans, and mollusks, fish, that he may eat, and other aquatic life, and land animals, capture aquatic animals, you can be faster, easier and more quiet, the quantity is more. You only need to know their life habits, what is the best time to catch them in a day, and how to capture them, you can get rich food supplies.
Crustaceans. This kind of animals including crabs that live in fresh water and salt water, crayfish, lobster, shrimp and prawn, all of them are edible, but the freshwater crustaceans before eating to cook, because they may carry harmful parasites.
Tropical streams have a lot of freshwater shrimp, especially sluggish streams. They swim in the water, or adsorption on the branches in the water or plants.
In brine shrimp living in the waters near the sea floor, you can stir up them, or at night, use light to attract them to come up, and then the netting.
Freshwater crab and crayfish sometimes inhabit a mossy ground beneath the rock, sometimes in streams, or swimming in the shallow water. You can directly by hand grasp, also can use a dredge. A lot of crab and lobster is nocturnal, so night will capture more easily.
Crabs crawling walking, will dig holes. You can use the dredge is easy to catch, you can also set a trap, fish or animal internal organs to attract them.
Mollusks. This kind of animals including shellfish live in fresh water and salt water, such as snails, clams, mussels, oysters, periwinkle, chitons, and sea urchins. Much like oysters and freshwater mussel, terrestrial and aquatic snail distribution all over the world, as long as is a place where there is water.
Northern coniferous forest region of rivers, streams, lakes, there are a lot of snails or freshwater periwinkle, the shape of the snail
May be a point, can also be round head.
In fresh water for molluscs, want to search in the shallows, especially in shallow water of river sand or mud. Look for them in the mud thin trace, or secretive elliptic cracks, that is their hiding place.
In the sea, by the time the ebb tide, check the puddle in tidal and the wet sand. The rocks of the sea, or a little deep in coral reefs in the sea water, often stick many shellfish. Snails and hat bei adhesion lower part of water in the rock, bigger snails, also called the chitons, is tightly attached to the upper part of the rock.
Mussels often gathered in the pond is full of rubble, log on, or the base of the rock.
Warning: in the summer, tropical mussels are poisonous.
Before eating mollusks should be its steaming or cooking, or shell. Will these stew, with green plants and root, taste is very delicious.
Warning: don’t eat those even if no software is covered by water when the water level is very high.
Fish. Wild animals, or at least in freshwater animals, is probably the hardest to catch fish. But if you know when, where and how to fishing, even if there is no modernization of fishing tools, you can still catch the fish. Hook and line is very easy to make, and in most parts of the water on the bait is also very easy to find.
Make a hook. You can use the pins and needles, metal wire, nails, or any other metal
Making a hook; Also to use wood, coconut shell, bone, thorn, flint, seashells, sea turtle and other production hook; These things can be grouped to produce the hook. For example, make a wooden fishing hook
Steps are as follows:
The production line. You can do with the wire line, also can use plant fiber or fiber to make the line of clothes. The trees) is one of the most useful fiber. Use fiber line steps are as follows:
Low to one end of the two wires together, must be strong.
In one hand and a thread, twist clockwise.
Low then will turn good two thread counterclockwise direction to rub together.
If you need, can increase the fiber in order to increase the length of the line.
Note: from marijuana, nettles, common areas, and swamps of milkweed, yucca, and a reed in fiber make line material is very good.
Looking for bait. Generally speaking, fish will bite those and their growth of bait in the same environment, so it can be close to the shore of the water looking for crabs, fish eggs, and fish, on the shore looking for worms and insects as bait. When you catch a fish, cut open the fish of the stomach and intestines, check it eat anything. Try to find a copy of the same food for bait. You can also use the feathers, color bright, shiny metal or shell to make artificial bait.
The timing of the fishing. In general, the best time for fishing at dawn, dusk, before the storm, the month circle or waning night. Fish kept out of the water that they need to eat, now is a good time fishing.
Fishing spots. Want to consider when choosing a phishing site waters, the waters area, season and time, and many other factors.
In lakes or larger streams, fish in the morning and evening like near the Banks of the river or shallow water area.
The fish in the streams often gather in the water puddles or dark and quiet, small shallow or rapids, sink to the bottom of the tail, rocks and logs, river bank in place, hanging in the vortex in the shadow of the projection of the river bushes, and near the submerged rocks or logs.
When the main river water level rising or becomes turbid, fish will be the entrance to the tributary to seek asylum.
Hot weather in shallow water, the fish will be gathered in the deepest puddle, or groundwater seepage spring, or hiding beneath the rock.
In temperate regions, in the cool spring, the fish will swim to the shallow water of the sun, where the water is warm. How to catch fish. If you use a fishing pole, hook, line and bait not catch any fish, that also don’t lose heart, try some other methods, such as the following method.
The line was laid. If you need to stay near lakes, streams, a period of time, so this method is very practical. Tie a few hooks on the line, hook on the string of good bait, and then tied the line on the overhanging branches, the branches need to be able to bend when fish bait. , remove it from time to time to check the line already hooked fish, then rearrange bait.
A hook or fork hook after it was the best when the line hook. When making barriers hook, will be a small cut bone or the two ends of the wood sharpening, carved a ring groove in the middle, will be tied to the grooves on the line, then put good bait on the hook, so that you can pull back the line after the hook into the water. To fix the line in the water, after the fish swallow the bait, the line cross swing device and hooks, fish hook will be stuck in the esophagus or stomach.
Vertical pile monitoring. This is a device can be fishing secret. You can set a lot of authority and not found by others. Prior to design, the two reed fixed in the bottom of the streams or lakes, drawing a line between the two reed (line can slide up and down) on the reeds, again on this line is equipped with two hook, line, to ensure that the two lines, not intertwined and will not be bound to on both sides of the reeds. Before it gets dark, the worms, bee larvae, or other suitable bait on the hook, after dark, put the line in the water, such as one to one and a half hours to check the line, if there is a fish bait, the fish and rearranging bait, check the line again after an hour. Also want to check the line immediately at dawn.
False bait the hook. This method is especially effective at night. Do you need a soft, 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3 meters) long rod or pole, a root about 10 feet (3 meters) long line, a hook, a small piece of shiny metal – looks like on the market sell spoon, a small white meat or fish guts. Will be tied to one end of the pole, the line and then tie the spoon false bait and hook on the line, make a hook under the false bait, put bait onto the hook, the hook into the water near the lotus leaves or grass, makes the spoon false bait slightly below the surface. Flap with the top of the pole at the surface of the water to attract fish to the bait.
By hand grasp. This method sag of the stream at the bottom of the river, or is very effective in the river back to stay in puddles. Put hands into the water, slowly near the Banks of the river below, hand as much as possible close to the bottom. Finger slowly moving to fish until you touch it, and then move along the fish’s belly, don’t too hard, when the hand moved to the gills, seize from behind the gills. If you deal with the catfish, or spine spiny fish, be careful, don’t be touching.
Fish in troubled waters. Flooding back form small puddle often have a lot of fish. At the bottom on two feet, or stirring bottom mud with a stick, water will become turbid, then the fish will run to the water permeability, then you can call with sticks, or by hand, put the fish out of water.
Fishing nets. Fishing with a fishing net is more effective than any method mentioned above. But to be a bigger nets need to spend a lot of time. But you can make a dredge, quickly use dredge can catch small fish, can do bait also edible. At the edge of the lakes, streams, or its branch at the entrance of a large number of small to can’t use a hook or fish catch fish. Find a root bifurcation of saplings, a piece of cloth, such as shirt, the two branches of saplings bent, tightly together, forming a circle, the framework of the ligation tight shirt collar, cuff, lower part of the shirt on circular framework, with a pin, metal wire, or other suitable to hold the shirt.
Better methods of fishing gill net, gill net but do need to spend a little time. Do gill net need a sling, and two vertical root, or two trees, the distance between the tree and you are expected to net length. Production of gillnets steps are as follows
Now you can put a net, but also need to put the net of some wood (buoy) at the top of the net, is some stones (anchor) at the bottom of the net.
Will be tied to the pole or saplings, into shore water, so that the net against the water a 45 ° Angle. This Angle will not make the floater hook on the net.
If you have a partner, then you can tie a rod in the bottom of the net, and then the two of you can get the network up and down the creek fishing, be sure to pull up every few minutes, take a look at the fish run away before bring it down. Traps and basket basket. These fishing methods are applicable for freshwater and saltwater fish. Make up more difficult, however, takes a long time, and it is difficult to take away.
In fresh water traps, remember the introduction to the life of fish.
You can also use a trap ocean fish, because fish regularly with the tidal surge towards the shore, they are often parallel the shorelines. Choose good trap place in sea water high tide, low tide, goes to set traps. On the seashore of rocky, can directly use of rock between the puddle; On coral island, can take advantage of the coral reef on the surface of the water; At low tide, blocking exports. On the sandy beach, can use sand and sand into the ditch. Or a circle of low stone walls, extending outward in the direction of the water, and the coast form an Angle.
Shoot the fish. If you have weapons, have plenty of ammunition, and don’t worry about the exposure identity, you can try to shoot it. Target should be located in not more than three feet deep, underwater target deviates from the goal point down slightly.
Fried fish. You can also throw a small bomb to get the fish in the fish, but after the explosion to hook the fish immediately, because their balloon, usually because of the explosion and burst will quickly sink. This approach will give you a few days of food, save those who do not eat the fish immediately to dry.
Spearing fish. If you’re in the water is not deep (about waist deep), and the fish is big and there is much, so you can use the fish fish. Harpoon at hand of a material is easy. Fork lever can use a long, straight trees or a piece of bamboo to make, if the little tree stem hard enough, it can be a head of sharpening, if you don’t hard wood, can be tied to a bayonet, a sharp piece of metal, a sharpened bone, a knife, or thorns on them. If the fork lever is bamboo, cut two arrows at the bottom of the bamboo.
In the water with fish through patience, waiting quietly, night with the help of a flashlight, fork fish success rate will be higher. Lights will attract fish, light to fish, will be reflected from the eyes of fish, and a flashlight to illuminate the bottom of the streams, you can find and collect other aquatic organisms.
If you need the water to the fish congregate, so —
Low slowly waded in the past, action must be slow enough, lest cause the vibration of the surface.
Put fish in the water, wait a few minutes, to let fish adapt to you.
As far as possible close to the target, the harpoon stay underwater.
Put harpoon at above target, to be as near as possible.
Low rapidly toward the bones in the past, and make the harpoon tightly hold onto the bottom of the river, and then came up with his hand to catch the fish.
Medicine is a fish. Another method is to use poison to catch fish. This method worked quickly, and can be done quietly, and you can get a lot of fish at a time. Some plants contain rotenone, warm regions of the material can anesthesia or kill cold-blooded animals, but to no effect on the human consumption of the animal. Can use a rotenone or contain rotenone plants is upstream of pond or stream. In more than 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 ℃) or the temperature of the water, rotenone will soon take effect, the fish will soon lose vitality, to the surface. If the water temperature in the 50-70 degrees Fahrenheit (10 ℃ ~ 21 ℃), rotenone effect is slow, and the water temperature is less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 ℃), rotenone would lose its effectiveness. The following plants, if use according to the specification, also can make fish coma or death.
Low plants of the genus stephania. This woody vines grow in South Asia and south Pacific islands. Can be crushed pea seeds, and then into the water.
Low croton plant. This shrubs or small trees grow in the south Pacific islands open wasteland, the seeds in triangular pods. The crushed seeds into the water.
Low jade plants of the genus core. These tall trees grow in malaya and Polynesia in some parts of the sea, they have a single long seed sarcocarp. The husk of crushed seeds, remove the seeds, and then into the water.
Low derris genus. This tropical shrubs or woody vines is the main source of commercial production of rotenone. Will grind the roots of the plant, or soak make its become soft, then mixed with water together, will be a lot and mixed solution into the water.
“Macao nightshade. The plant growth in Australia, has a white shape clusters and strawberry fruit. The plant and lay crushed and then into the water.
Low ash plant. This is a small shrubs, with pod, almost all born in the tropics. The leaves and stem crushed into the water.
Low Lonchocarpus. It belongs to the tropical American shrubs or trees grow mainly in the area and the west Indies, the leaves like feathers, flowers white or red. Its root ground up and into the water, or soaked with water, then put the solution onto the water.
Low mountain walnut, white walnut or black walnut green shell. The outer ground up and into the water.
Lime can poison fish. Can be burned, coral or seashells for lime, lime into the water.
Into the water before put on the poison to the design method of good fish, dredge is useful, you can also build a cofferdam in the downstream to catch fish.
Cut the fish. If you are in the water, and don’t worry about the light will cause you not safe, so you can be in low tide at night try to cut the fish this method. A torch and ignition of the tools you need, also need a machete. In one hand and a lit torches, in one hand and a machete —
Low to a depth of about 2 feet (0.6 meters), the light will attract the fish.
When the fish with a machete dao back knocked out and then picked up.
Ice fishing. You can dig a hole in the ice in winter to fishing. In order to make the mouth of the cave no longer frozen, can cover the hole in some branches, and then some snow on the branches.
Warning: it is important to ensure that the ice to carry your weight. Take a 10 feet (3 meters) long and two inches (five centimeters) in diameter rod, so that if the ice cracked one thousand, can help you out of the water.
In winter, the fish will gather in shallow water, can break the ice in water is not too deep a hole, in general, should choose where shelf near the shore to sink in the water, the edges of the reeds, or base rock of the bulge. Take a piece of 3 feet (0.9 meters) long pole and one of them is long enough, can hang down to the bottom of the string. Made of a shiny metal pieces of rotating a spoon, make a hook tied to the fine line, and then tied the spoon metal over the hook. Fishing rod to move up and down, so that metal will turn.
Another approach is to use as shown in figure 7 to 15 or similar device, can open several holes, set up multiple such device. When the flag move up off fish and rearranging the bait.
Eels. Is a kind of look like a snake eel fish, eels growth, the world’s fresh water and salt water, their skin is very smooth, in underwater swimming (snakes have scales and floating on the water). Eel is very delicious food, you can capture them in the cloudy water during the day, or night capture, use night fishing methods. At night, with the help of a flashlight, it is easy to use harpoon to eels. Catch eel, at their head hit the coma. Eels like catfish, skinning off before cooking.
Poisonous fish. Some fish are poisonous, harmful, or from the alkaloids in fish, or from the toxic food they eat. There is no definite way to how to distinguish poisonous fish, some poison fish skin smooth and some rough skin, the surface has no real fish scales, but the spine line. Some poisonous fish when they encounter interference expansion. Pelagic few toxic fish, poison fish generally live in coral reefs, argillaceous rocks or near the sandy shore. Here are some fish contains toxic substances, fugu, sting sea Angle of pig, fish, fish, etc. (see figure 7-16). If the fish is local, you can observe what they eat fish. The north Pacific and the arctic ocean has not found the existence of poison fish, but sculpin fish roe is poisonous. Don’t eat found in rocks and logs or rocks plexiform or clusters of fish eggs.
Amphibious animals
Frogs, salamanders, salamander living in temperate water area.
Catch frogs at night, can according to their songs to find its location, with clubs, for larger frogs, can use the hooks. Will the frog skin, and then cooking. Salamanders and salamander under the general hiding in rotten logs or under a rock, usually these places have a lot of frogs. Before cooking these animals to remove the internal organs.
reptiles
Many reptiles are good sources of food, and can be found in most parts of the world the reptiles. The snake. All poisonous snakes, non-toxic water snake or land are edible.
Warning: be careful not to be snake bites, because some snake is fatal, even if the snake was cut off, it will bite because of conditioned reflex, and inject venom.
Snake is the best time in low temperature is not high also not early in the morning and in the evening. Place any mulch is likely to be in possession of the snake. Stone, branches, or stick with it, or with a long stick to their head on the ground, and then take it. Catch a snake when the index finger on the back of the head of the snake and your thumb and middle finger on either side of the head of the snake, is located in the rear of the mandible. You must hold tight the snake’s head, lest it come back to bite you.
Warning: constant vigilance.
Lizards. Almost all over the world can find lizards, but more frequently in the tropical and subtropical regions. All lizard meat are edible, but there are two kinds of lizards, people will poisoning after was being bitten, the lizard is: the two big gila and beaded lizard. They live in the American southwest, Central America and Mexico. You can hit them with a stick, on the one end of the stick is made a lasso, grass or bark rope trapping them. Big lizard skin and gut, then put the meat baked, boiled, or Fried. Small lizards can remove the internal organs, not directly from its mouth with a stick, and then on the fire roast. When the skin blister or clacked, the already baked.
The tortoise. Snapping turtle in hiding or resting before will head toward climbed into the hole on the inside. When looking for a turtle, wearing shoes feet to find, to find, after reached its shell, the shell below the serrated edge is its tail, seize the tail, and then get it out.
Warning: if the waters of toxic water snake, don’t try to look for tortoise.
Warning: be very careful when catch a snapping turtle, both under water and on land, they are likely to bite you. Crocodiles. Crocodilian animals live in tropical and temperate regions of lakes, rivers, streams, or near the water. The best way is to shoot to kill them. Crocodile skin, thick and hard like armor, peeled before heating on the fire can make it become soft, then baked or Fried meat.
Birds and mammals
In some places, birds and mammals may rich than the other animals in the class, one important reason is that all birds and mammals are edible.
Birds and mammals like gathered in habitat, you can find them from the following places —
Low forest and jungle edge.
Low forest paths, the channel, glade.
Low river on both sides.
When the lake, the beach.
Birds and mammals is easy to see, they eat, sleep, drink, and activities regularly. Observe their habits, activities, you can see their behavior, it can help you successfully hunted or trap them.
Birds. Birds have no sense of smell, but their visual and auditory particularly acute. So to catch birds, you need to understand some of their habits.
Take a nest. When birds escape from human least likely to is a time when they sit nest. Know where different birds nest, when sitting nest, will make you catch them more easily.
Sitting nest period, if the surrounding environment without the distraction of a large, birds will often back to their nests, and regularly. If you are patient, you can capture them in their nest. In fact, when they hatch, or feed the chicks, you can even catch them by hand. To catch birds, you can use the noose. Use of vegetation cover, keep quiet, don’t move, until the birds came back, with a noose upon the top of it, quickly back to the noose. Owls could defend their nest, ready to stick to deal with them. For those who will nest in hollow birds in the tree, they are stuck in it, or when they go in or out, use the lasso trapping them.
Don’t lose sight of the birds’ eggs, fresh eggs can eat, even if there is the embryo. Many birds sitting nest on the ground, such as chicken, Turkey, pheasants, and waterfowl have to wait until after gave birth to a nest of eggs to hatch. Every few days to take an egg, but to leave two or three, so that you will have one to two weeks for the supply of fresh egg. Don’t destroy the bird’s nest, and don’t take all the eggs, give up the litter because it will let the female. If you want to ensure that the source of the egg, don’t kill it during the female sitting nest.
The flight path and habitat. At sunset, watch birds fly to the nest. Some songbirds flight route is the same every day. Find their way to flight, you can be on the way, net to catch them. Or you can find them live nest in the trees, with two rod set up beside a net, and then from the other side of the scare them, so they can fly into the net, net and entanglement.
Large birds will nest in a tree, you can use the foot, use the lasso cover, or clubbing. Quail, partridge, and pheasants, when they rattled in the nest can fly only a short distance, so if you don’t catch the first time, they can track them then.
Activities. Waterfowl, quail, and pheasants, Turkey, pigeons, gulls and other groups of birds used to inhabit and activities. Can use meteor hammer or 18 to 24 inches (48 ~ 60 cm) of cast bar to attack the flock.
Feeding. At the beach, you can capture the shorebirds, herons, and sometimes eat fish and ducks. Capture, wear a fish on a hook bait, put the fish in the sea or in the water. Put straight hook into the fish’s body to get better effect. Or you can also use the lasso or net to catch the sea birds.
For birds, interior tile bird trap with auger cloth can easily catch them.
Decorate the trap steps —
You can also use perch trap to catch birds. On a branch or any other level bar, put a few light perch ring overlap will ring. On the branches or bar decorate good bait, when the birds come down, it will fall into the trap of the feet. A bird was caught often attract other birds, especially with black bird.
Mammals. Wild animals through their vision, hearing and smell to identify risk, if you are not familiar with the area of animal, so you have to assume that these animals are naturally wary, suppose they are sight, hearing and smell are very sharp. Many mammals activity along the road, by observing their footprints, feces, the trace of the road, caves, and eating, you can distinguish the type of animals in the region and the number of their relative. This knowledge will help you hunting or trapping animals.
To have meat to eat, must know how to find, close to, shooting, and trapping animals.
To find and close to animals. Pay attention to the new left traces, such as a footprint, the trace of the bed, there are temperature or moisture dung, these tracks all animals appeared recently. Must remember: when hunting before prey found you find their prey. Careful observation on high, either in the forest or in the open, away from the first to find out find out close to the ground again.
Point of drinking water, eating place, to find the animals or the path of the often, patience to wait for animals.
Find and sniper animals, whether in open or in the forest, direction must be against the wind, or in connection with the direction of the wind Angle, but never with the wind.
In the thick jungle, because the line of sight is blocked, so the action as far as possible don’t make a sound. Any voice – for example, step on a dry branch or of the dry leaves sound – can make animals alert.
Hunting in animals is easy to find your place must be secret. If prey found you didn’t escape, you want to stop at this moment, don’t move, until it is to continue eating. Then you weave close to animals, if the animals look up, you will stop.
In the hill country of hunting animals, if possible, around the above them, because they are less likely to be aware of the danger from above.
Shooting game. Many animals in the vulnerable part of the head, neck, shoulder, etc., after shooting to aim at these places. Spend more time aiming to make sure it is accurate, if the animals ran away after injury, the blood slowly along its track. Seriously injured animals without being followed, it will soon lay down, gradually more and more weak, finally unable to stand up. Slowly close to it, and finally kill it.
Catch small animals. Sometimes to capture the following animals don’t need a gun or trap:
After low armadillo, tracked down the armadillo can directly by hand grasp, or clubbing.
Low hare – with sticks, stones or meteor hammer strike. Rabbits jump in the north may run after 4 to 5 feet (1.2 ~ 1.5 m) will be stopped.
Low mouse/lemmings/mole – by foot or playing with a stick. These animals under summer often hiding under a rock or logs, often hide in the snow in winter in the Banks of the river.
Low squirrel – capture with squirrel stick.
Low skunk – when a skunk is eating or travel into the route of its activities, when it passes through, near carefully, to grasp its tail tip, it quickly picked up off the ground, because when it’s feet off the ground after it won’t be able to spray the stench, and tail after being caught it cannot bent over to bite you, then it strikes with the rod. If possible, before cleaning the skunk dipping it into the water cooling, this scent gland can harden, also is relatively easy to remove, and reduce the odor.
Low possum, seize the tail, can use bludgeon in times of need.
Low marmot/north American marmot, woodchucks – at their den decorate a double trap so that they will fall into the trap of in and out of the cave. You’ll also be able to dig the animal, and use the stick or stone struck. Dig near animals, we can insert a ring buckle belt, animals down the belt, and then you can pull them out, if found outside the cave animal, pursue it, when it against, can stick or kicking it.
Low porcupine – if on the ground, with clubs strike. Tapping trees down, if in the trees, and stone, or with forked branches and hold it, then grabbed the tail long hair up. This will not be the thorn pricked. Warning: the porcupine barbed spines, will hook to touch it.
Beaver – waiting for beaver ashore, and bludgeon, kicking, or stone, or grab his tail.
Beaver is a stubborn animal, so grab it tail like a pendulum to back after shaking it, until it loosen soft down, and then the tree or fall on the ground, or use the lasso to strangle it. A capture the beaver is digging its dam let water go, beavers would come out to check, you can cross in the ditch, such as beaver swimming have its tail, and then immediately as said on shaking it. Warning: be careful not to let it bites you, it can bite out of a big cut.
Low muskrat – with sticks in the water, or use the method of capturing the beavers to catch it. For a very long MAO animals, you can often use a sturdy forked branch will be pulled out of the den. Cross the distance between the tip should be 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm), fork half an inch and a half to two inches long (4 ~ 6 cm), half an inch to an inch in diameter (1.3 ~ 2.5 cm), will fork sharpening. Insert forked branches den hole, when met with resistance and twisted branches, the branch will poke live animal skin, then you can make animals dragged out, and ready to bludgeon it immediately.
The mongoose – with a stick or stone, or by holding a net to catch, the mongoose is very light, it is difficult to throw off net. Warning: the mongoose is very fierce, may bite you.
You can also let the predator hunting for you, but you have to be very alert. Attention to the prey on birds and beasts. You often hear the sound of the little animals have been killed, at this time, you can ask predators dashed, they are likely to leave escaping prey, then prey is yours.
If scared dropped food escape are large predators, such as bears or big cats, then gave birth to a fire and burn the night, to stop the anger of predators. Most carnivores will avoid fire and human.
Trapping animals. If you don’t have a gun, or in a place that must keep quiet, you can set a trap, organ, or a trap to catch animals. But first, you must know what animal it is, it can be according to the signs tell you observed, and then decided to use what method to capture. Success as a trap and successful hunt, depends on how much you know about the habits of animals. For example, many rodent and predator only at night, and ungulate of day and night will come out for food.
Will trap types of animals and their life habits decide the way you want to take what kind of trap. But no matter what way, you have to cover the smell of you. To cover up the smell, you can put materials lay traps in soak in streams, with cold gray or wipe, or use animal urine sprinkled on top, so that we can attract similar animals. The wind blows the rain or the smell of smoke can also cover your.
Although salt can not cover up, but far away from the coastal regions, it is a kind of effective bait.
Catch small animals is one of the methods of using trap – a noose, can take any animals into the trap.
Make the material of rope hanging umbrella can use parachute cable inside the conductor, or use the previously captured animal skin, cut it into thin strips, or use the bark of hardwood saplings, can also use wire, for example, booby trap wire is very useful. When animals out of the crypt, you can use the lasso stick in it. The same as the procedure steps with the bird.
More ideal but drag trap, because it can make you don’t have to stay in place, but also the most easy to make and the easiest way to decorate. Decorate good, you only need to check regularly. Drag a trap to catch rats is particularly effective, you have to do is find animals newly found path (as long as you leaned over to look at the ground, it is easy to find these small animals activities route), along the path to find a place, there are on either side of the best shrubs. Then decorate good trap. Set the trap, looking for a cord or wire and a stout stick, making steps are as follows: can decorate drag trap now. If both sides shrub that supports a stick, can be in both sides vertical two short forked branches as support. In order to make the string do open, can support the branches in both the open a slot, or on the ground vertical two twig, hook the lasso to open from both sides. The animal might fall into the trap of drag drag stick down, until is entangled in shrubs. Animals tried to escape the struggle makes the noose tightens and strangle it, finally could not move. This kind of trap has several different styles, one style is this positioning – another scheme was built on the path on both sides of the two fences, and then the two notches on the stick inside, open the lasso, put on both sides in a stick on the notches. You can put the drag stick on the fence, can also be leaning on one side of the fence.
Type lasso lock loop is a kind of as long as hard to pull, ring can be tightly locked lasso, so that animals can’t escape. To do this noose need weight is very light metal wire, such as vehicles or on the plane
Wires, or other light wires. If there is no this kind of metal wire, can use mine pull hair line. The lasso production steps, use the lasso to capture larger animals is very nice, or used in a very cold climate, because in the very cold climate, wire can become very fragile.
Remember, decided to use the lasso according to the following circumstances —
When your situation.
Common animals for the region, as well as the animal behavior.
What kind of material do you have, what are the area can make use of natural materials.
Here are a few of you might want to use other types of lasso.
Hang the lasso is used to another way of capturing the smallest animals. This device can be captured animals hanging from the ground to choke. Hang the lasso has several different forms, the difference is that trigger device. One of them is often referred to as fixed lasso, the noose is very easy to make, but need a small trees, a rope, and two forked branches. Production steps are as follows:
Now you can set the authority to capture the animal. You can hang up a noose, if the shrubs are not suitable for support on both sides of the road, you can also stand on the ground of two small fine rod.
Another type of hanging trap trigger device is to use a forked branch and two branches, one of the branch must be long enough, can firmly into the ground, another need not too long, but need to be able to come into contact with the ground, or into the ground. Straight branches of a must be able to cross the forked branch and extending outward, in order to bait, short of that used to decorate the trigger device. Make the trap steps are as follows
Another lasso also called pedal bounce lasso, also there are several different ways. Figure 7-27 demonstrates two ways to use young trees. One needs a long tree on the roadside trees, a rope, and four do framework of wood, a trigger with short wood, some of the sticks and disguise, camouflage pedal material. steps
You can also use a flexible branch for pedal bounce trap. The branches bent, ends inserted into the ground, as shown. If the soft soil, attention should be paid to ensure that the insertion of the ground firmly on both ends of the branches, can place heavy rocks on both ends, or use two branches long, forked branch them deep into the ground, respectively in bending the branches at both ends.
Remember when setting the lasso, animals were walking generally low head, nose often close to the ground, unless be disturbed or frightened. So if you want to catch the mouse, the lasso can’t two and a half inches above the ground or three inches (6 centimeters or
7.5 cm), if you want to catch the deer, the lasso should be 24 inches from the ground to 36 inches (61 ~ 61 cm). Another means of captured animals is the rock fall organ, animal ran into the trap of the trigger device, there will be a heavy fall hit the animal.
Rockfall organ can be used to capture many types of animals, but to capture the medium size or large animals, rockfalls authority also must be large enough, it takes a lot of time and energy, is usually not a person can be done. So your situation may not allow you to use large rockslides authority, if rare, medium, large animals also don’t use this kind of authority.
Making rockfall organs are most likely to trigger device is 4 glyph device. To do 4 glyph devices need three stout sticks, a stick of erect on the ground, a trigger device, a bait. The length of the stick depends on your choice of heavy type. Refer to figure 7-28 you can understand roughly the size of a stick.
