Making a Live Trap | Live Free or Die

Thorne's girlfriend Delia's counting on him to make sure they stay stocked up on meat, but he's new to trapping and still doesn't have a handle on the habits of all the wildlife in the area.

"Now I'm gonna actually make a live trap. It's kind of like a primitive cage. I'll have some pretty strong green wood that will be like a box and lace it all together. There's a lot more work that goes into having enough for two people, and we're both providing in our way. But as far as shelter is concerned and the hunting side of things, it's pretty much on my shoulders."

"Yeah, that's heavy. They're not left in him. Now I just got to set it. I've found that food is really the biggest obstacle to that really deep wildlife that I'm looking for. This edge right here, I've walked it often and seen a lot of rabbits moving in and out. I'll bait the set with a little bit of Apple. An animal will go in there after the Apple and trigger it. The whole box will just right on top of them and trap them."

"Do you find that sweet spot? I'm so close! Shoot, you know they make traps and set them and put them in the right places. I was a little bit of a learning curve for me, so I've got to use all my knowledge of these animals and their behavior and their pattern. Hopefully, I can get some meat that way."

"All right, it's about a hair-trigger, so anything that touches that—opossum, rabbit, whatever—I don't care."
