Thanks to all who participated in our last edition of Weekend Fun.
Many of you did get it right.
The contraption is known as a karlauge and is used for trapping birds and other wildlife games.
It was used widely in rural areas in the past and is rarely seen today.

i guess a karlorg is supposed to be a cage isn’t it?.and not a trap.
Calouge used for trapping ground doves
GAVE ME A TRIP DWN MEMORY LANE DNO.>THANKS<
REMEMBERING MY TOMBOY DAYS IN ST JOSEPH,I WAS D ONLY GIRL AMONGST THE GUYS.WE WOULD ROAST THOSE TOOTWELL AFTER …. HMMMMMMM
It is called a car-loj. I remember making these traps with my brother to catch ground doves (Totwell). Fry totwell is the “bum”.
not used to thoes traps
myself from town all i caught by the river was baygas birds feather them out and rost them under my grannie cooking coalpot.
…but bwa caway (square wood) should be used instead if those round sticks…
Yes my brother. Now I hear from somebody who know about karloj. Unless you make a karloj with bwa caway, you do make karloj yet.
My old man showed me how to make the zatwap tootwelll.We would set that in Buck and Lolo. We always would put those yellow seeds from the cocklet tree as bait for those tootwel. Something is different about this one though; every row would be tied starting from the bottom up to the top and the sticks were dug in like how log cabins are done so that there is less space.
I agree they wanted to make something from the past but magway sah. One piece of wire from side to side could ever hold a calloge? The calloge have to be able to stand on a piece of wood until the bird trip on the rope. If a bird trip that it just decallaying!! Please find someone to make a proper calloge!!
As a matter of fact, launch a calloge making competition. I agree for someone to take my idea. I will send US50.00 for prize money.
That is a Karloge used to trap doves. They were very common in areas like Pte. Soufriere, San Sauveur, Good Hope and C/Bruce areas back in the day when we had no BB and pellet guns for hunting birds.
Assertive, NOT Agressive!.
its called a karlogz, or banzar, depending on where you are from,used to catch tootwell
a banzar is something different.
That is a KAR LOGE but we used to construct it differently. Makes me remember when i was younger.
oh, remember what it is, now. Zartwap politicien. To trap crooked politicians…
and DNO, please post my comment.
Correct name is pronounced car-loj,made for catching ground doves(Totwell
What do you call that, non. That thing, man. Oh, man. The name is on the tip on my tongue. man, she how could I forget that, man.
A better cotrapment could be made. A manicou could slide out..
this is a dove trap {trap tootwell}
if you dont know about it just dont comment, it was used to catch doves not manicou
Tutwel trap
Dove trap. Haven’t seen one of these forever?
Forever.
hi iwant see aimage from you please!
That is not a dove trap (caloge). Allu doh seeing the size of those pieces of wood. That is a bear trap.
A dofal, used to catch agouti
A Dofal? Now I know why in another island it is referred to as a “downfall”
THis brings back memories of my youthful days!! yes!!!! a caloge, zatrap totwell, used to catch doves in my young days.put some dove food in there, hide behind the bush and watch the birds come in to feed and get trapped by tripping over the rope!!! oh those days!!!
its to trap dove but its to big with to much space who make that shld come to possie and learn how to make that.
this is called a pip-wee
Its a zatawp we used to make it to catch does nice brown doves called toutwell. In scott’s head we made it out of the sea grape wood. The dove is a delicacy when it is prepared roast.
“Kalog” to trap ground dove or tootwell. Great
dove trap
Zatrappe Zibyea….We used to catch birds, but mostly ground doves…
zartwarp ped wee
A baflo…used to stay a float
A zatwap tutwel
That looks like trap to catch “TOOTWELL” which is a kind of ground dove (bird). But we used to use the branches of the Calabash tree which is a lighter wood.
Since this wood is more sturdy, it may be used for a different animal like a manicou.
i suspect that is a manicou/agouti trap, not a bird trap. look at the size of that thing
Ground Dove Trap !!!
