Best Answer

THat depends on the environment and what they were hunting. In the arid desert regions of the south-west of the USA some hunters used snares and throwing sticks to kill rabbits; snares were also used in the woodlands areas to catch small mammals.

Bows were the primary hunting weapon, as well as the main weapon in warfare; different tribes used various types of arrow to hunt a range of different prey. In the eastern woodlands some arrows were made with swollen, blunt wooden heads for hunting birds and small animals.

On the Great Plains, hunting was generally done on horseback using very powerful short bows or sometimes lances.

When guns became available from white people these often replaced native hunting weapons, particularly in the eastern woodlands where bows were all but abandoned.
