Small Game Hunting

Hare Trap

1:34 min. - This little house will be very attractive to a hare.

Transcription

Narrator - Jean-Baptiste Bellefleur's technique for catching a hare was learned from an elder a long time ago. Since the hare is fond of birch, we place little birch branches behind the trap. Then we tie a piece of string to a piece of wood, and the other end of the string to one of these small branches. Between the two, another piece of wood is placed, to act as a pivot.
Jean-Baptiste Bellefleur - This is what I'll do. The hare will enter the opening, here. It's the only place he can go to eat the birch. And if he does, he'll necessarily cut the cord with his teeth and the tree will fall on him. This little house will be very attractive to a hare.

Le piège à perdrix est génial! Mais, ce n'est pas une perdrix, mais plutôt un tétras! Pour le piége à lièvre, ça me semble un peu compliqué : je préfère le collet en laiton.o
