Mine are the simple brass-wire snare and the Paiute deadfall (easier to make and less fiddly than the Figure-4). As the use of snares/traps wouldn't be legal under everyday circumstances (unless during trapping season and with approved traps/snare), their use is purely an academic exercise. But knowing how to make them is an essential skill...

I agree that knowing how to make traps is an essential skill and I am woefully behind in my ability to make them well, However, my fav is the Siberian deadfall know as the Koolyomka. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBBnrnFp1NA |

Yes, I used basically the same method, but used the spring pole sideways instead of upward. Keith. |

George Cartwright also describes how to catch a bear by getting it drunk in his 1792 journal.
“Bears may be intoxicated by mixing either Laudanum or Spirits with Treacle & Water. If overdosed with Laudanum, they will die; but a sufficient quantity of Spirits will make them so drunk, that they may be muzzled, bound, and brought home in a sack and will become sober again.”
