Primitive traps

New bird trap works

 

These traps are really nice, and I'm sure they're effective, but there is one I've wanted to try that hasn't been mentioned. It's the den trap.
Since I have done no more than gather some materials to start this project, I'm curious if others have used this style of game harvest?

 

Is it where you build a tunnel about 6 feet long and at the end put a bigger box with a door at the top and set it out in the woods for a few months then go open the door with the tunnel blocked off.

 

That's the one, but I understand that there has to be the appearance of two tunnels at the surface. Like a left and right exit, so the animal feels he has an escape path. These both lead to the single main tunnel, but he doesn't sense that.

 

The one I have made I make with one tunnel about 8 inches hole with a 14 inch wide 20 inch long I have had hispi cotton rats snakes coons a bat they work but hard to target one type of animal.
