Tools and Strategies the Egyptions used to Hunt

Harpoons
The Egyptians used many tools like the throwing stick.  The throwing stick was almost shaped like a boomerang. It was used to throw at wild fowl as it flew into the air hoping that it would stun it or break a wing. They even used harpoons which would be made of ivory or different metals.  Only the wealthier people had bows and arrows and they were rare but some people still had them.
                                                                    

They sometimes used dogs to attack their prey. They also used nets with weights on them that were set up in a certain way that it would trap the animals.
