I'd forgotten the fine detail for this trap and reading up when I got home realised I had it upside down and should have made my bait stick shorter....doh ~

I then decided to make a platform trap, this would be used on a game trail~

Here it is with the sticks set on it and covered over quickly with moss, you can see the noose layed on top of the moss~

As I was only practicing I didn't put much effort into making it blend in but you could quickly make this type of trap almost invisible~

Saw lots of this Indian pipe starting to emerge, some books say it's edible and some say it's not......not gonna risk it !

You have really acquired some great skill over the years Pitdog. Heck I even remotely remember a guy running around here by the name of Pitman that didn't show as much skill:D
