Kutilo is a special prison on a wooden pole with a long belt for pulling up a dead beast, which consists of a sock (tip), cattle and obory (a belt with a length of about 50 fathoms), which is attached to the toe [1] .
The cattle trap tended to be freely pulled out of the wide part of the sock. When it enters the beast, it flies off to the side and floats freely in sea water. When the hunt was on ice, the obora was fixed on an ice pick or a sinker pierced in ice. If animals were hunted from karbas , then towards the end of the turn a strong empty barrel was attached, which served as a float, indicating the location of the beast. Gradually pulling the beast out of the water, he was finished off with a knitting needle [2] .
