A fishing pole
A looped rope
bread
wild chickens
Instructions:
Tie the loop onto the end of the fishing line. Practice quickly pulling up on the fishing pole. You may want to try to catch a family member. Dogs are good sports. Find some wild chickens. Open up your loop and move backwards leaving about 10-20 feet of fishing line out. Entice the chickens with the bread, leaving some bread inside your loop. Optional: hide in the bushes. When the chicken has both feet inside the loop quickly pull up on the fishing pole. Congratulations, you just caught your first wild chicken. If wild chicken is part of your food storage plan you can eat the chicken. Or you can just pet it and let it go.
Note: No animals were injured during the making of these pictures.
The chicken with the red has just been caught. 
One might ask, why are the Cook's catching chickens? Well, why not? On Friday Rusty was at work and needed to get into a room at the Marriott (where he is doing a remodeling job). He had to get the maintenance guy to open the door. He called him, but he was busy catching chickens. Rusty offered to trade him places so he could open the door. Rusty was then schooled in the fine art of chicken catching. His debut as a chicken catcher was highlighted by all of the subcontractors cheering him on (and booing him when he missed). Marriot catches their chickens because they are aggressive for food and wake the guests up in the morning. They then take them to a little chicken reservation, which is near the cannery between Lawai and Kalaheo.
The girls loved catching chickens.
You really can learn something new every day.
