The hunter scattered grains of rice on the ground to lure birds into a trap.

Here's why this is a common hunting tactic:

• Attracting Prey: Rice and other grains are attractive food sources for many bird species.
• Setting a Trap: By scattering the rice, the hunter creates a feeding area, making it easier to set up nets or other traps to catch the birds when they come to feed.

This method takes advantage of the birds' natural foraging behavior.
