Yes, you are correct.

I do not recall how my dad trapped the rabbits and prairie hens, in Texas.

I used Mary box wire traps for moveable chicken coops, for small ones, that I might want protected.

It was an 18” high, 2 x3’ chicken wire box, with an open end.

So I can’t help with the subject, other than to agree with yo.

Hubby still has his box traps even though they are illegal now. (I memtioned in an earlier post that he throws NOTHING away). He also knows how to make snares for larger animals (coyotes can be a problem here) but those are not legal, In survival mode they could snare deer if one located a deer path.
Haven’t seen it mentioned here but just looked at the Backwoods Magazine site. They are advertising a 16 page special preparedness article in their next edition coming out mid-Apr.
