and the bola will also catch domestic pigs, horses, etc. if you can't find big stones for the 3 ends of the bola cords, then you can make pouches and fill them with sand or pepples. All you need is the weight, you see, to make the cords "fly" well when thrown, and to spread out and entangle the animal's legs. small bolas can work on waterfowl, domestic turkeys, chicken, etc, too. If you've got a roll of twine, you can make dozens of the small game bolas. Bigger critters require that you use paracord for your bolas.
snared cattle and horses make a lot of noise, belloring and neighing, so be ready to put an arrow, spear, or stone headed club in their brain. Naturally, this sort of harvesting is mostly done at night. A slingbow, (slingshot with whisker bisket for shooting arrows) takedown broadhead arrows (Dave Canterbury's store) and a bow-trigger device (for holding back the sling tension, make for a compact, lw device for harvesting cattle and the like.
Forget about taking small critters with slingshot and stones, cause the rocks don't fly straight. You have to roll the stones in clay, between flat surfaces and bake them in your fire. Arrows make much better projectiles than stones, cause they fly straighter, further,and have much more effect when they strike.
