Hunting Octopuses...

[HoleInTheSky]

Anyone knows if there is a way to make an octopus come out of it's nest? I found 2 today and before i had the chance to catch them they went back into their hole in the reef...

Often you'll find shells around the den. Move them around & wait. After a while the octo will come out to put them back where he had them.

No, but I'll bet this will make the octopus lovers come out.

Cool video.
I love it when he says the defeated Octopus. Looks like the octopus put some serious fear into that diver.

First post. Trolling, or just a natural? Sock puppet? Or are you really that bored?

Best way to get it out of the hole is to shoot it with your spear gun and haul it out.

Looks like he annoyed the living crap out of it and it was trying to make a point.

Should submit that video to "Stupid People Tricks" on TV...

Don't get them out of their holes to begin with. Leave them alone...

Can't eat them if you leave them alone.

Do you know where that video was filmed? It looks like the wreck of the Saskatchewan in Nanaimo
