Adults and children leave the village with their hunting nets to participate in a communal hunt in a nearby forest and fallow land. Communal hunting with nets is done with a group of people including net owners who encircle a delimitated area with their nets, and dog owners, who use their dogs to flush prey towards the nets. Other participants close off the rest of the delimited portion and flush out animals. Women also participate in communal hunting, helping to flush prey into nets. During the communal hunt that we participated in, animals were bludgeoned to death with fists to avoid damaging the expensive nets. Bonwitt et al.
