The appearance of the injured changed the atmosphere of what had been a very pleasant dinner, making it exceptionally somber.
The conflict evolved from setting animal traps to deploying shotgun traps...
Shotgun traps are actually a very simple measure often used by hunters around the world, especially those near the Arctic Circle.
A simple trigger mechanism, a shotgun shell, and either a tripwire or being buried in the ground can create a non-lethal trap or an early warning device.
However, compared to the previous animal traps, shotgun traps are more incendiary and deadly!
Some people find it hard to empathize with the plight these Indians are facing...
Because that is legally purchased land, it seems like it's my right to forbid you from crossing my land to hunt in the mountains or elsewhere.
But in reality, that's not valid, because once you do that, the basic survival of the natives will be challenged.
Alaskan winters can truly starve people to death!
