Hello hiveians
It's been three years since my dad retired from the police force which was quite a journey for him. During his time as a police officer, he was nearly at home, one minute his is home the next he is away again.
Just staying at home was something he was never used to. Fast forward to now, dad is retired no longer going to work mostly at home. I look at him and I can feel how not easy it is for him to be around all day with most times nowhere to go. For me staying at home is something i'm good at for him it's something he dreads.
He has been trying different things just to keep him busy and all. From farming during the rainy season to now hunting during the dry season.
So I came back home today and I noticed he was so busy putting some things together. It didn't take me long to realize he was planning to go out hunting 😀.
Hunting the primitive way
Dad had some easy to get material to prepare some sort of weapon for hunting the very popular bushmeat as it is called.
He got things like:
Car Tyre
Pieces of stick
Rope
Firstly he shredded the car Tyre or should I say tube into pieces👇👇
- The pieces of stick were cut into fine looking pieces with carvings around it👇
- Lastly comes putting the three pieces together in a very unique way
With all this done, dad is ready to go hunting 😀😀
And his is off this morning already so good luck to him😀
Life after retirement can be challenging and yet interesting in its own way, you just have to try and make the most of it.
