needles Explanation: https://themedievalhunt.com/2017/03/04/the-wolfhunt/ Men take them beyond the sea with hounds and greyhounds with nets and with cords, but when he is taken in nets or cords he cutteth them wonderfully fast with his teeth unless men get quickly to him to slay him. Also men take them within pits and with needles and with haussepieds or with veno- mous powders that men give them in flesh, and in many other manners. I think it probably refers to pine-needles, used to lame a wolf and make it an easier target for hunters. |
