My parents and their siblings (4/4 Choctaws from Lane, Oklahoma) used to hunt small game this way. I can’t wait to teach my son how to do this when he’s old enough.
I love this, it's teaching the children how to survive, and feed THIER self, yes we can, one day a man came to my house ,he. Had been riding his ATV what we call a 4wheeler, he was on his way hunting and pulled off the road and disappeared into the brush, then he came back out on that noisy thing and stopped again to talk, I saw him stop in the road for a minute when I look back here he comes and says he killed a rabbit, what happened was he may have ran over him course he didn't shot him, the rabbit was on the side of the road because every morning I would get up to drink coffee outside and enjoy the sunrise I would see the rabbit run across the road, well ,he comes up to me and says here is a rabbit for you I bet you don't know how to dress him, I said well yes I do I'm Choctaw and when I was a little child ,as young as possible my daddy went hunting every morning and came home with something, eating a lot of rabbit gravy and biscuits, he started to tell me again what to do, but I said let me go get my pocket knife and I'm going to undress him, how you going to do that? like my daddy used to do, he cut around the feet, then around the neck and down the inside to it's private parts pulled the skin/hide off and finished at the rear keeping the tail on the hide, gutted it cut the head off and washed it, pulled the skin over some thick sticks with the fur to the inside and salted the skin to dry the skins made warm lining inside shoes or moccasins, the dogs got the left overs and the rabbits got cooked pretty quick, I never seen a rabbit again after that, the drilling companies came into the woods and scared every animal away but the wild hogs, I live in Louisiana and I swear that was the last rabbit I seen here where I live and it makes me mad to think it could have had young to raise because I only seen this one in the same place, too many things are destroying our necessities, it that is the trade for progress, we live in Louisiana in the north west part, once there were every kind of animal to imagine, even panthers and bears, bears are around the lakes and water ways haven't seen one since 1980's or a panther,but no rabbits is dangerous to ones diet, soo I think I will ask wild life and game if you can raise and release to repopulate, it's a good thing the children are learning how to do this, and nothing like the smell of fur, my daddy smelled like them when he came home. The good old days.
Great educational video. Its important to keep cultural history alive and to teach it to the young ones. It teaches them to be proud of their history and contributions to society. Also honors their ancestors
Ranger Survival and fieldcraft did a video on Chocta rabbit sticks . It's pretty impressive how powerful they are . He was knocking over bowling ball size rocks .

I thought a rabbit stick was a type of boomerang/flying stick weapon, not a LITERAL stick
My tohbi side: idk sounds kinda weird
My Chahta side: where the stick?
