Woodchuck Snare
3:31 min. - Setting a snare for a woodchuck with materials at hand.
Transcription
Agathe Pietacho - I should have used metal traps. We don't have any traps, we'll use this string. Maybe he'll cut the string with his teeth. Try to make the string touch the ground, he won't be able to get through. The metal wire we use for snaring hares would be good, but maybe not strong enough. The metal traps are best. That's how we catch them most of the time. I'm blocking the side so the animal can't get out and to keep the snare open. I'll check my snare tonight or tomorrow. We planned to set this snare during the day.
We have to drive the stick in deep. Maybe the opening of the snare is too wide, the animal will go right through. The animal is already out. It came out this morning or last night. Probably this morning. It eats leaves, branches... We're already finished. We've got time to make love.
