Returning Boomerang

To my knowledge the returning Boomerang was not used by my tribe, but is now widely used for many different things. Funnily, it can be used not only for hunting animals, but skillful throwers can use the boomerang to attract female attention. 

The returning boomerang, as the name explains, comes back to the thrower.  The skilled hunter uses the returning motion to benefit from this wonderful and powerful ally, as well as work in conjunction other weapons including the spear and the killer boomerangs.  Used together, they can “herd” the animals by changing the direction they run in, penning them in to a small corridor to easily be picked off by skilled hunters.

Imagine you’re sitting in the grass, in front of you is a plain, open ground with a big, juicy, meaty kangaroo sitting in the middle. You’re hungry and the only things you have are the killer boomerang and the returning boomerang.

You know that if you move into the plain or the open the kangaroo will see you and hop away, but the kangaroo is too far away for you to hit with the killer boomerang so you think ‘mmm…’ you put the returning boomerang under your arm, you rub sweat and human stink all over your boomerang, insuring that your scent was strong upon the timber.

You throw the returning boomerang hard and long. As it travels it makes a noise. Your returning boomerang goes behind the big kangaroo, as it travels the noise startles the kangaroo. The kangaroo looks behind him and sniffs the air looking for danger and low and behold smells it.

Unbeknown to him the kangaroo thinks he is running away from danger but the truth is.....

"we eat tonight".
