In the past, the Kalmyks hunted wolves with whips and on horseback. People did not use rifles and cars, as they do today. Sanal says that he has a friend called Korta who lives in the village of Yusta and who has an interesting story about how he killed a wolf. When Korta was young, a wolf that had been hiding in his barn, attacked him. Korta grabbed the wolf by its neck and slowly strangled it. When young, Sanal hunted saiga antelopes, foxes and hares with a small rifle. Once he even hunted a boar. That is how it happened. One day Sanal was sleeping out in the field. At about 5 a.m. he was woken up by his mother-in-law who said that a black pig was strolling near their barn. Sanal quickly grabbed his rifle and cycled back to the barn where he saw a big boar. He started shooting, but in vain, for the bullets in his rifle were too small to kill the boar. Sanal with others chased the boar on bicycles and cars and shot it down in the field. The meat was divided among the neighbors. Sanal says that he also used traps to catch foxes, corsacs, ferrets and hares. Among these species, the most cunning is the fox. Wolves do not attack cattle sheds where they live. They go hunting far from their lairs.
