I'm sure everyone knows about the old-style mouse traps, the small plank of wood with a spring-loaded snap and trigger mechanism mounted on it. A larger version is made for rats. I wonder if the larger trap can be used for getting game such as squirrels, bunnies or even birds? Baited appropriately (and probably best anchored somehow), does anyone think these might work? I thought they might spook game, but I'm thinking if I whittle away at the base to 'soften' the square shape, and then scorching the top with a torch, they might look more natural.
