- I also make snares from snare wire and sticks. To make this I get 4 or 5 strands of very fine wire and twist them. I then make a loop at one end of the wire and tie the other end to a stick. I then stick it in the path leading to a rabbits burrow. When he comes along he sticks his head into the loop but is unable to get away as the stick is firmly held in the ground.

- I also make balls from the hair of cows.I collect it from the backs of cows & roll it into a ball between my palms & I do not let it get wet as it then would not hop.
