If you get lucky enough to find it walking on the ground you can wing flap it with a wyvern without it aggroing you and push it into your trap. Also if you bola it it pike it close to death and then wait approximately 10 min it works like a starve tame for quicker taming. You can get 3 feedings out of 1 bola this way.
