Good morning, little pet squirrel.
How are you doing today, my friend?
All righty, so the premise of the Mojave scissor snare
is that the animal is snared in a V with a scissor.
My strength coming into this is creativity and resourcefulness.
So in preparing, I tried to fill my brain with lots of images
and ideas, figuring that some of them
would prove to be relevant when I set off.
This loops up, catches whatever game you have in there
and pinches it tight.
Got it all set up there.
Basically a squirrel steps on that little stick
there, pushes it down.
It releases the spring pull which brings up the scissor
and closes them.
I'm going to go try to give him hell.
I'm almost starting to feel bad about hunting
my little squirrel friend.
Do I really want to eat that squirrel?
And the answer to that question is I will eat that squirrel.
Trap thrown.
Oh no.
The trap was set off.
Damn it.
Damn it, damn it, damn it.
So close.
Oh.
I've got something.
Hi buddy.
There he is.
[squeaking]
Sorry, brother.
I found him, and I put him out of his misery.
It's what's for dinner.
I have to say, it's a little bittersweet.
It's going to be nice to eat something.
Thank you again, my little squirrel friend.
Live on, little buddy, inside of me.
Oh crap, excuse my manners.
Would you like some?
