i remember reading how eskimos would wrap sharp bone fragments in balls of fat and leave them for polar bears… then they would follow the bears until they died of internal bleeding.
elephants are much smarter than bears though.
I mean, we wiped out mastodons completely: Humans can be like that sometimes.
Isnt there a similar thing where they put a blood soaked knife in the snow blade up and a wild wolf will come and lick the blood off, cutting their tongue on the blade and keep lapping at it not realising its their blood until they pass out.
That reminds me of how when there is a mosquito in your arm you can pinch the skin around it, trapping its sucker in your skin and at the same time violently blasting your blood into the mosquito until it’s too fat to fly.
that is such a grimy way to hunt lol. basically poisoning without the risk eating the meat
It’s the arctic and a polar bear. Is it fair? Well it’s about as fair as fishing. And if they don’t do either they’ll see how fair starving on a block of ice is
Maybe people shouldn’t be living there if they can’t survive without poisoning their prey
