Can we have an animal trapping thread? I've been looking for some good in-depth sources of info, as mostly I just find one or two page overviews in old survival books. Do you have any experiences with traps, any favourite methods?

Hey OP, I have not trapped yet but I'm looking into picking it up this year.

Here are some random links on the topic that you might find useful.

Scroll through that page for more links.

Hope some of it helps.

I'll be starting with a simple live trap myself. Trying to catch squirrels from late May to mid November since they're mostly the only thing allowed until November in my state.

I'm talking about all legal non survival scenario trapping of course.

Oh, alright. In that case all you need to do is set a line of foothold traps around a high end clothing store, slap a 100 dollar bill on each of the pans, and camouflage it with flowers, diamonds, and bank receipts with deposits of 1000 dollars or more.

With that kind of money you don't need foothold traps.

Learning by doing, my dear friend. #1 rule for me personally: check traps at least every 6 hours to avoid long time suffering of your prey.

Read, try and find a human mentor. I can't stress that enough. Learn what the hell to do with dead animals before you end up with them. Don't set a snare too low; it gets pretty ugly. For living animals, rather than shooting them, carry a hammer/very hard stick/ use the back of an axe and give them one good square whack on that nub at the back of the skull. I learned that after trying to kill my first snared possum for like a half hour.
