Traps, snares, and falling rocks, probably easier said than done, so I was just wondering, if any of you guys has actually used these to catch dinner?
I know of a figure four trap, but it's very tidious and annoying to set up when your fingers are under the rock when it falls repeatedly, so I was hoping there might be something better to use or just a more efficient way to make a trap.
As for snares, are there any special knots that are supposed to be used for snatching up a rabbit or small critter? And is there a special way to do this? If you know the name of the knot, just state it as I probably still know it from scouting.
Any tips would be helpful, I just wanted to know because I read a post that made me realize something. I can make all of the shelters and fires that I want, but how the hell would I ACTUALLY catch MEAT when out in the bush. Not using a gun, maybe a bow and arrow, but that would take me some time to make one adequate enought to penetrate something. So snares and falling rocks seems to be the best way to catch food.
This doesn't include fishing, cause even I can do that, just traps for small critters would be very appreciated, thanks ahead of time, J.

. It's always free game on rabbits down here is Texas cause they are everywhere. Keep the replies coming, J.
) and set up the snare. It worked like a charm. It took me a few tries to get the trigger piece to stay in place, but it finally started working. Thanks again, J.
