The Hunting Prowess of Fisher
While Fisher is quite competent to hunt sea creatures, land animals present no trouble to the mighty hunter. Here we see Fisher at the end of a successful hunting and trapping session. The peanut is well known to skilled hunters as excellent bait for a variety of prey, and everyone is familiar with the traditional octopus hunting lasso known as the riata. Once caught in the noose of the riata, an animal can be killed directly or (as in this hunt) dragged forcibly into a steel cage. In this expedition, Fisher has chosen to capture an animal alive, specifically an Eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis). Now the prey can be kept for possible lean times ahead, or for release in a controlled environment for recreational hunting, or even for taming and breeding of a herd of domesticated squirrels. |
