The herd is led into the labyrinth by two converging rows of poles and one is generally caught at each of the openings by the noose placed there.

The hunter too, lying in ambush, stabs some of them with his bayonet as they pass by and the whole herd frequently becomes his prey.

Where wood is scarce a piece of turf turned up answers the purpose of a pole to conduct them towards the snares.
The reindeer has a quick eye but the hunter, by keeping to leeward and using a little caution, may approach very near, their apprehensions being much more easily roused by the smell than the sight of any unusual object.

Indeed their curiosity often causes them to come close up and wheel around the hunter; thus affording him a good opportunity of singling out the fattest of the herd, and upon these occasions they often become so confused by the shouts and gestures of their enemy that they run backwards and forwards with great rapidity but without the power of making their escape.
The Copper Indians find by experience that a white dress attracts them most readily and they often succeed in bringing them within shot by kneeling and vibrating the gun from side to side in imitation of the motion of a deer's horns when he is in the act of rubbing his head against a stone.
The Dog-Rib Indians have a mode of killing these animals which though simple is very successful.

It was thus described by Mr.Wentzel who resided long amongst that people.
