Revision as of 10:50, 17 December 2018

Big deadfall traps are mainly targeted for wolves, but also work for foxes, gluttons, and the like. It's made by setting several slender tree trunks in a relatively wide roof construction and placing heavy stones on top of the trunks. One trunk is used to lift the deadfall roof up, and a stick with a bait tied to it is then set on a round stone as a triggering mechanism. As the stick is carefully placed on the stone, even a very light pulling of the bait will drop the deadfall roof down.
