Shooting a Deer by Poisoned Arrows Described by Cobb
A detailed account from Dewes Austin Cobb to the Nua Honan Geographic Society describes hunting with poison dipped arrows used by indigenous groups in Bengil and nearby native regions. The bow is a five to six foot bamboo tube with a hollow mouth end, firing a small wooden point. the method mirrors a blowgun’s action and relies on a delayed, lethal effect. A buck is lured within thirty feet, then overwhelmed as the hunter remains unseen. the animal shows curiosity, pauses, lies down, and dies about eighteen minutes after being struck.
