i have heard people say that they have caught animals with a homemade trap made out of rope..... how do you make one? Or is their no such thing?

(im not sure this is what you mean but....) I like to catch squirrels for fun using traps. I get a milk crate and a 12 inch stick and stand the crate half up. I put seeds and peanut butter under the crate and i tie a rope to the stick. I sit around and wait and when one is under i pull the rope. Its fun, I let them go tho.
