hunting

e Eskimos had many ways for hunting.The animal that the Eskimos hunted the most was the whale for there mouth, blubber and bone.Eskimo were great hunters. When the Eskimos went fishing they would cut a hole on the ice and sit on the box. As they wait they sit quietly and wait for the fish to come and bit on the bait. When they went hunting fir walrus and seal they died seal and walrus was to heavy for the Eskimos to carry so they would have the dogs carry them on the sled. The Eskimos had many hunting techniques for hunting. They could sit for hours without success. It required a lot of skill and patience. You had to be very quick to be able to do this. A fisherman must act quickly to catch it when a fish swims into view. Eskimos also usually caught Arctic char and Arctic trout. In spring when the seals were out on the ice. Eskimos would hide behind fabric sheets to stalk the seals. They used spears to hunt the seals. THe way the Eskimos got walrus and seal is they would go out in the kayaks. Somehow they would not flip and lose the seal.
