Ojibwe bird snare

4 foot long upright piece pointed at both ends. Smaller end will be stuck in the ground. Flatten the stick on 2 sides about 7 inches from the top end, about 1/2 “ thick. Cut hole through the flat section. Cut small 8” twig (trigger stick) to fit loosely into the hole. Tie a shorter stick near its end like a cross. Thread string through hole, on side of trigger stick. Trigger stick should be set such that the slightest weight causes it to fall from hole. String should have snare loop on trigger side and hang down about 2 feet on the other side with a small weight on it. Set the loop on top of the cross. When bird lands, the trigger falls and the snare hooks the bird’s feet. Set food to attract better. Set multiple such snares around the camp. Birds will come to the camp out of curiosity.
