Duck Tape
Very, very sticky... for the lazy hunter. | |
Super-sticky mesh tape, about 500mm wide and 60m long, strung above swamps and ponds.
Duck glides in, to land on the water and **SPROING !**.
At the end of the day, reel in the tape, using the special gloves supplied, into the specially designed canisters, removing ducks as you go.
Now,
where did I put that recipe for Orange Sauce?

Tiger Tape

Somehow I can't see this being terribly effective for catching tigers. [PeterSilly, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004]
Believe it or not...

...this is precisely how ducks used to be caught, though without the duct tape (I think they didn't want to mess the feathers up). Decoy ponds, which now look like crop circles made by aliens on acid, had little wiggly arms going off in all directions, allowing the hunters to set up net tunnels on the downwind arm. They would then rush the pond with noisemakers and the ducks would fly off into the nets. [DrCurry, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004]

You might also want to attach your duck tape to a plane and trawl for entire V's of ducks. |
|
| |
Employing a purse-sein method with two planes would also be effective. |

This is just fly-paper isn't it? |

12Feb2003 AUSTRALIA: Hunter killed by duct tape |
|
| |
09:19 GMT Melbourne, Australia, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Hunter killed by duct tape. Today the body of a Mr Una Bubba, a well known local hunter, was recovered from Cockatoo Marshes, 27 miles outside Melborne. Bubba (47) is believed to have become entangled in a five metre length of Duck-Tape, an adhesive waterfowl trap he had devised. |
|
| |
Bubba is survived by a family of twelve and the entire Cockatoo Marshes' bird population, as he was thus far unsuccessful in his endeavour. |

Oh, FM... I nearly choked, laughing at that.
Not from anywhere near Melbourne, but that just quacked me up. |
|
| |
[hippo], no, not really.
1. It catches ducks.
2. It's clear, so they don't see it before they're trapped.
3. Flypaper is a lot, lot smaller. |
|
| |
Can you get fish tape for that fish a l'orange recipe you had? |
|
| |
There could be a market extension of this, using extra-super-sized rolls of tape for hunting male deer. |

Is this a Weapon of Mass Adhesion ? |

Never even thought of your cat tape, 8/7. |
|
| |
I do like the image of a dozen or so large, plump, Pacific Black Ducks, flapping about, awaiting the return of the trapper. Very tasty. |
|
| |
Wouldn't this be too easily confused with duct tape? If it were, I'd think there could be some rather serious consequences, because duct migration patterns and behavior in general are so very different from those of ducks. |
|
| |
I don't know, maybe the confusion wouldn't really be that widespread. Personally though, I for one think they sound a lot alike. |
|
| |
Hmmm. What does a duct call sound like, I wonder ? |
|
| |
It's possible, BX. I mean, you get all sorts of things through ducts, but you can be guaranteed to get shit through a goose. |
|
| |
Duct tape is a rather grim item in the US these days. You hear of home improvement stores selling out of the stuff lately. People are buying it to seal up their windows to keep out chemicals in case of a terrorist attack. |
|
| |
The more experienced are buying it to b+l+ind terrorists. |
|
| |
Our local hardware store has just taken large shipments of duct tape, batteries and clear drop cloths (as a stand-in for plastic sheeting), and has them all in the front of the shop. They believe this is actually Bush's incentive plan to kick-start the economy. |
|
| |
While the other items on the emergency stockpile list are quite sensible, I really do not know what the White House is thinking in adding duct tape. Making your home air-tight in advance of a gas attack might well be efficacious (except, of course, you'd suffocate overnight), but running around trying to seal up the windows after the alarm has sounded is only a little more likely to help than holding your breath. |
|
| |
It'd be great, if terrorists were ducks, but they see us as sitting ducks, I believe. |

Curry, I'm aware of decoy netting. None of them are even remotely sticky, as you pointed out. |
