I use one inch PVC pipe and drill holes in one end of the pipe, for the nails, and I use sharpened horseshoe nails. There's several ways of securing the trap.

I have some of the Vietnam era snare wire! reminds me to get a few more spools. Great for trips and alarms if you run Filmora editing you can zoom in and out and cut the screen. Be great to zoom in on your hands for some bits of this though you describe it well Somewhat cruel and I doubt it is legal anywhere or at least it should not be anywhere :-)

It's a survival trap for sure. Something that the old timers used to do. We definitely have more humane ways of trapping and dispatching critters nowadays. However, for informational purposes, it's definitely interesting.

One nagging question. The animal's paw must be severed to separate the animal from the trap. Once inserted the paw cannot be removed from the trap even after it has been severed. If we bore the hole through the block and use a plug, can we empty the trap, clean it out and reuse it or is it fouled and rendered useless after the first catch?
@WayPointSurvival
3 жыл бұрын
Yes. If you bore through and plug it, it can be reused many times. Thank you for watching and for the question!

You can release anything from the trap. You'll have to work the animal into a sturdy sack, close the top of the sack and pull the nails out of the block, thereby setting the animal free. Getting the critter in the sack is the hardest part.

For one thing your belly won't care how illegal it is, nor will your children's or your wife's, if you're starving and a grocery store is no where around. Secondly, racoons carry desease that will kill horses and other live stock and you. They also think your laying hens and ducks are carry out. Third, Anything that may help keep them in check is good to know, especially when a hav-a-heart cost $50+ and this trap cost about 25 cents, 2 staples and 5 nails.

I think if you were really going to use it, you wouldnt waste your time making a block. Put the hole in the log and put the nails in. Probably put a half dozen holes in that log and catch an entire family of coons.

True. It can also be used in the roots of a tree or along a river bank etc. the same way. Just wanted to show the block as it's portable and uses some bushcraft skills. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Rabbit maybe. Squirrel maybe. But why catch a raccoon? Few eat them anymore. And Daniel Boone was the last to use a pelt....well folk in the 60s and 70s but that's a different topic. Raccoon casserole? Jerky? Gotta eat what you kill. A Dutch raccoon will thank you for the clogs.

This is the same principle as a store bought dog proof trap. Specialized for coons. I'm thinking you could have just drilled into the downed tree.
