Trapping

[Highlander]

Here is another one, a good dead fall, depending on how big the whole trap is

Its always difficult to explain how traps work, so I have drawn it, the key to holding up the rock is the twist of the short toggle colored in [ yellow ]



...you have to hold the toggle in place with the bait stick, if the [ black ] bait stick is touching the [green ] forked stick it should hold....

The bait stick also touches the rock if possible, although it doesn't have to, but I find that if the animal is reaching up when its triggered, he has less time to react when he springs it



it doesn't take a lot to spring this one, its really meant for small prey like birds or mice,... but it could also work well on larger prey if the parts are big enough
