About This Book

This practical manual provides step-by-step instructions for constructing and setting a wide range of traps and snares for small mammals and birds, accompanied by natural-history notes on habits, habitats, and detection of runways. It explains trap-building materials, placement strategies, baiting, and handling to minimize human scent, and discusses when animals are to be regarded as vermin. Methods for skinning and curing pelts are described, and numerous illustrations and diagrams clarify tunnel systems, trap mechanisms, and practical field technique, combining hands-on guidance with observational detail to improve effectiveness.
