Any two hunting techniques adopted by the hunting communities are:
(a) Hunting by using weapons: The Hunters use different types of tools and weapons for hunting animals. These tools can again be divided into three broad groups on the basis of their application. In the first group falls the bruising and crushing weapons, like the club, mace, boomerang, missile, sling and bolt. These weapons are used to smash down the body of the game without breaking its skin. The Oraons of Chotanagpur use the missile called as lebda to capture small animals. The boomerang is used by the Australian aborigines. The slings are used by the Oraons, Santhals and for this they use different raw materials like bark fibres and also grasses. In South America the bolt which is a blunt octagonal arrow operated by a bow is used to hunt animals.
(b) Hunting by using traps: Traps have been used by hunters to snare animals. Traps can again be grouped broadly into two groups. They are manipulative traps and automatic traps. During use of manipulative traps the hunters need to be present during the hunting operation and for the manipulation of the trap. For use of the automatic trap, the hunter leaves the place after the trap is set.
