Hunting techniques
Hunting techniques vary according to the game and its habitat. They are governed by strict rules concerning the equipment used and the behavior to be adopted. The use of traps, for example, has been banned because it violates the animal’s dignity. Stalking and stalking are practiced individually and rely on good observation and knowledge of the game. Hunting is done in groups, often with the help of dogs that flush the prey towards the shooters.
The first carved stone tools
The first peoples had a nomadic lifestyle, moving to find game for food, fur for protection from the elements and materials (bones, hooves, horns) to make tools. The first carved stone tools were used for killing and cutting. After the domestication of fire around 400,000 years ago, hunter-gatherers perfected their skills in transforming raw materials such as flint into hunting weapons. They used the terrain (chasms, marshes) to capture and kill their prey, then created traps, often by digging trenches, to hunt more effectively. Weapons have become more refined and complex over time. The use of bows and arrows spread throughout the world, except in Australia where the boomerang was theweapon of choice.
Other hunting techniques
Other hunting techniques, such as battue, involve collaboration between man and animal. Dogs are thought to have been tamed for this purpose since the Neolithic period, and horses since the 2nd millennium BC. The Assyrians mastered the art of falconry as far back as 2,700 years ago, a practice also known in China and India at the time. Several treatises on hunting techniques were written in antiquity, including the Kynegetikos (On Hunting) by the philosopher Xenophon in the 4th century BC. In the Middle Ages, horses, falcons and dogs were still essential hunting aids, as were bladed weapons and throwing weapons (bows, spears for wild boar, swords and knives). In general, weapons used for combat were also used for hunting. The first recorded use of firearms (harquebuses) dates back to the 16th century. Nowadays, in developed countries where hunting is mainly a leisure activity, rifles and shotguns have become the most widely used weapons.
Hounding, stalking, driving, snaring: a typology of techniques
Hunting is the pursuit and killing of furred and feathered animals, as well as certain aquatic mammals such as whales. Hunting techniques vary according to the game and its habitat, and can be carried out alone or in groups: stalking and stalking are practised individually and are described as “silent”, since they rely on the ability to observe the animal without it noticing. The first method is static and is used from a hiding place or watchtower. The second involves tracking the animal very slowly, watching for the slightest clue (droppings, tracks, etc.) before finally approaching and shooting it. The essential conditions are a good knowledge of the terrain and its prey, mastery of your hunting equipment and patience. Both types of individual hunting were originally used to regulate species. Observation enables the hunter to know the state of the population, and selective shooting is aimed at eliminating sick animals or reducing overpopulation. Subsequently, so-called “harvesting” hunting, in which game is killed for personal consumption, became widespread. Today, in industrialized countries, there are strict rules governing the species that can be shot, the territories and periods of hunting, and the equipment used. They define the measures to limit accidents, as well as rules of behavior to treat prey with respect. As a result, most hunting methods that use traps have been banned. This includes snaring, which does not allow hunters to select the species they hunt, and subjects the animal to a slow, agonizing death.Source: alimentarium / https://www.alimentarium.org/en/knowledge/hunting-techniquesVISITE?ZONE VIP Kate Nadeau MercierGeneral Manager knmercier@qacp.com AVENTURE CHASSE PECHE INC500, 2550 BOUL DANIEL-JOHNSONLAVAL, QC H7T 2L1CanadaFacebook Magazine?Facebook Émission?Gars de Brousse?Filles de Bois?Télé-Mag?#Moosehunting#How to eviscerate a moose#How to eviscerate a deer#Huntingtechnique#Fishingtechnique#Huntingequipment#Huntingclothing#TRACTOptics#Wild turkeys#SalineMoose#meilleurblocdesel#MoosehuntingMousehunting#How to eviscerate a bear#SalineMousehunting#SououilleMoose#VideoMoosehunting#blocdeselMoose#BrowningCanadasource
