Our ancestors did not have the opportunity to choose the products necessary for existence on the shelves of stores. In order to feed the family, men were engaged in hunting and fishing. The simplest and most affordable way to catch animals and birds can be considered catching them with special nets and traps. Great popularity and fame had a network called "tenet". What were these traps and how they were used can be found in the information in this article.
What is a tenet
This is a network woven from a thread, which can vary in mesh size, height and length, as well as the thickness and strength of the rope from which the trap was made. The tenet was used for hunting both large and small fur-bearing animals, for example, a hare or a fox. Such nets were successfully used and when hunting for birds, tenet attacked the game hidden in the grass or shrubs. Such traps were hung on trees and driven animals and birds into them, moving a chain in the direction of the nets.
Tenets were also called nets for fishing, which were installed in rivers or moved with them along a reservoir, and thereby were driven and subsequently collected sea or river inhabitants entangled in it. In those days, people did not catch animals, birds and fish for the purpose of enrichment, but for feeding and sewing warm clothes. Therefore, hunting and fishing were a vital necessity. What is tenet, then every child knew, and even women hunted with them.
