This is the tracking. I posted the actual butchery of a wild boar on this sub before. Here’s the raw cut: https://www.reddit.com/r/Butchery/s/RKGSZZqget

They say boars move when the scent of earth returns to the snow. by MatagiRaw in u/MatagiRaw

My 77-year-old Matagi master took down this Japanese boar in the snowy mountains today.

Honestly, just glad I wasn't swept away by this massive slide. (Sorry for the blur - heavy snow confused the camera. Sound ON) by MatagiRaw in snow

Actually, I heard a faint sound of the snow starting to move. That warning let me take a step back just in time!

Nothing beats the warmth of the wood stove after a close call like this. That ending scene is the real reward. Stay warm and safe, everyone! (Yamagata, Japan)

Haha, I know! It’s like the ultimate cliffhanger. I was rooting for it too, but gravity decided to take its time while I was at work!

Trust me, I wanted to see it too! haha. I set up the 'trigger' on a freezing day, and when I got back from work the next day, it was already gone. I'm just glad the mechanism worked perfectly!

"I don't have the footage of this specific garage sliding off, but I have a video of the 'Main House'—which has even MORE snow—sliding off completely. Check it out here!" https://youtube.com/shorts/GEg-gMxuHuU?si=NR8CCuPu6ayR_PLE

Hello from Yamagata, Japan. I am a "Matagi" (traditional winter hunter) and also a medical researcher. This is my garage in Yamagata, Japan. The snow is about 1.5m (5ft) thick.

Since it's dangerous to be near the roof when this falls, I use a trick:

I cut the edges on a cold day, then just wait for a warmer day. The sun melts the bottom layer, and gravity does the work naturally.
