Heavy deadfall bear trap

A deadfall trap designed for bears is a heavy construction which is practically impossible to even trigger by less strong animals. Several big tree trunks are used as a deadfall weight and are set in various formations. Sometimes stones are used to bring some extra weight to get the bear properly immobilized as the trap collapses on it. Bait is fixed to a triggering pole which needs to be strong to hold up the heavy trunk construction.
