HUNTING EXPEDITION; DAMARU

   Hunting was the oldest profession of the people of Barutem. The people hunt with dogs and Dane guns and also set traps for animals. There is communal hunting in which Dane guns, and sticks are used. This hunting expedition is known as 'Damaru' or 'Dambaru'. In the old dry season, the people burn their bushes, called 'doomena' to harass animals from their living or hiding places. They chase the animals while running away from the burning bush and kill them.             Hunters with Dane guns often go individually or in groups of two, three or more far away into the bush for days and return with loads of bush meat.
    Below are some of the pictures taken during damaru and some animals killed.
