Andy- You seem to have anger towards birds and thier beauty. What is your true reason to hunt these animals? I used to set twisted sinew snares up near GungyWamp lake where some Geese would come down to lay eggs and stay most of the warm months. I was never successful. But I did steal one of the three eggs ( my friend Suavea was there, we got attacked). I cooked it on a sheet of slate (not survival, just sensible). But I have been successful with my bows and duck arrows (little name for my flattened hand carved rounded blunts I use on just waterfowl, the arrows have four fletching). I like to set up near the small but deep lake passage they come threw every once in a while. I have read that you can hang fishing hooks on branches that have bait on them to capture them. I find reading a book or watching a television show means nothing because it's the expirience that counts (have a friend Brian that watches that show Man V.s Wild, and when we go to the woods and he trys sharing his small amount of knowledge he picked up while watching t.v., I have to correct him so many times to "insure" he doesn't eat a poisonous plant or jump into the lake and try to "fight" hypothermia). There is this bird trap I know how to construct that requires netting though......eithier way, capturing a bird doesn't require to much ingenuity, but even trying to stalk one is a challenge (with the exception of Grouse and such).

ehh ok

[Ranger andy]

hello good game

somebody call a fowl....

Here's another bird method:

Dig a hole
put ashes in the hole.
put peas around the the hole.
When the bird comes to take a pea, sneak up on 'em & kick him in the ash hole.

Works well for elephants, too.

I think I should send you a bill for paper towels used, and time involved to wipe iced tea and chewed up biscuit residue off my desk.

This is a secret method for catching birds that my grandfather taught me. I'm going to share it with you because you are so young. It's probably illegal in most states though.

1. Get a box of bird seed.
2. Get a box of Morten's salt.
3. Open the box of bird seed and pour a pile of seed on the ground.
4. Open the box of salt.
5. Lay down within arms reach of the pile of bird seed and wait for a bird to land and start eating the seed.
6. Gently reach out with the box of salt and pour it on the birds tail. The bird will be unable to fly away with salt on it's tail, so you can easily catch it.

Don't get discouraged if it takes quite a few tries before you figure out the technique. It's kinda like trying to kill something with a sling. It takes allot of practice.

Now remember this is a secret so don't tell anyone. Especially anyone in law enforcement.

I thought this method only worked on woodpeckers!

I'll check this out next time I go after an elephant....Maybe you just found a way to resolve our human-elephant conflict!

Now you are mature enough that you should be able to figure out why an old man would tell a kid to try something like this.

Ok Ok... I forgot about the amusement factor. I don't have any kids of my own, so i never got into the practice of introducing them to excercises in futility... Heh heh... I gotta tell my niece that one... she's 7yrs old...she just might bite!!

[laughing beetle]

Yes, you are. The sarcasm.

Awww... I must have been short on the coffee that day...
