  They hunted bear.  The bear was used for meat and tools.  They sometimes used it for trading.  When they did trade it, they traded it for shells and other equipment.  They also hunted deer and elk.  They ate the meat, used the skins, made tools from the antlers and bones, and made hunting equipment.  The hunters could hit a fly (if it was still) from 30 thirty feet away.  They hunted turtles, too.  They made the shells into rattles and ate the rest of the meat.  They made nets and other traps to catch many types of fish.  They also hunted rabbits and ate them.
