For pay it does.
If past form is any guide, about
5,000 hunteip will come home Sum
day night (at least most of them
will) lugging about 500 highly ex

to find him before he finds you.
Then you pin his head down with
a forked stick. Then you get a
noose over his head and gently
loft him into a sack. The snake
doesn’t like this, and all the time
is making a noise like a bill col
lector at the door-buzzer.
