Quote History Quoted:
I was told toss in shallow pond, add corn or cut sweet potatoes and ducks would get caught in springs and drown.
Some see that as cruel, but hey, people had to eat and times were hard. And I’d rather eat drowned ducks or beard snared turkeys than stand in a soup line .

Old timer that told me about this, also had some interesting moose trapping tips as well.... One involved a washer.... Not the kind you put on a bolt, but the kind you clean your clothing with...
according to him, if you dig a hole big enough to burry a washer, and cut an X in the side of the washer, cover with leaves, a moose will walk over it, crush the washer get stuck in the jagged metal from the cut, and since they are so front heavy, they cant get out, walk up and shoot them between the eyes with a .22....
