Chicken Snares

A tame cock is fastened to a stake and surrounded by a number of slip nooses fastened to a rattan band. The wild cocks come to attack the decoy and are caught in the nooses. The snares and the decoys are carried in these cases. This method of catching wild chickens is widespread, but the details in the making of the snares and cases vary from tribe to tribe. KULAMAN.
