Out with my M6 !

I decided to make a deadfall trap that could take out some big game today.

First step was to make me a scary looking spike !!!

My spike lashed to my deadfall and raised into position~

And the trap from a little ways back~

I added the extra piece of wood to the top of the deadfall at the last minute, next time I'll add even more weight and lash it all together better. I really just wanted to practice the principle of the trap today.

I also made another modified Promontory Peg deadfall trap, still love this trap as it's so easy and quick to make~

~ Always ensure dogs and other people are clear of these type of traps when you are setting them up and always take them to bits before you leave the spot ! ~
