Primitive Live Rodent Trap

This primitive trap was inspired by a photo I saw of a native American pigeon cage. I simply added a trigger mechanism to close the trap door when an animal enters and takes the bait. This design of a cage can be used to keep or transport small live animals. It can also be used to store food and hang it safely from a tree branch. Materials used for this project: • About 10 giant cane (Arundo donax) stems that measured about five feet long (1.5 meters) • 4 very flexible willow stems • About 80 feet (25 meters) of yucca leaf rope (Hesperoyucca whipplei) • About 20 feet (6 meters) of yucca fiber cordage • A few dry stems of chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum) to make trigger mechanism • 3 dry willow branches as stakes to support trigger mechanism Sign up for my newsletter: http://eepurl.com/jfZxG-/ Check out my ebook here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DC5FN3K9 Drums of the Deep by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
