Homemade Trap!?!?!?!?
This might sound kinda dum but is there a way to make a trap out of a sapling tree and a rope like you see on movies??? If not is there another way to make a homemade trap??? Thanks for all input

You mean a snare? Im guessing the sapling in the movie was used as a drag substitute. You can make a snare with simple material that you can purchase at Lowes. Just run a search on "google" for home made snares and you should get several links.

Its hard to explain but it can be done.
A snare catches the animal which moves in the snare pulling the bent over sapling off a peg that was holding it in the down position.

I know that its very easy to make a snare depending on what your trying to catch with it, but I think I heard about a trap thats more along the lines of what your thinking of.
I ran a google search a while ago just to check out some trapping photo galleries. There were a couple animals that were caught in some kind of trap. I think they called it a "German leghold trap." It was made out of some kind of sapling, but im not sure how it worked.
Anyone else know any info about this?

One day I found some old wire in my house and decided to try and make a snare. I just looped the wire around and tied a loose knot about six inches up. I tied the end toa tree and the next morning I had a delicious rabbit dead. Work well for not knowing what I was doing.
