deadfall success!

Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
I was kinda bored yesterday as the afternoon was passing and waiting to go hunting and i looked outside and saw about 6 squirrels gathering acorns and the light bulb went on.  So i walked outside with a knife and picked up a rock around the house and an extra piece of junk coral for extra weight and made a quick figure 4 deadfall, and stirred the trigger stick in the peanut butter jar.  I have never really bothered to make one of these before so i just wanted to own the simple skill. so i came home from work today and success. so now i have some squirrel hide lashings and tail for quiver decoration and if i can catch another for tomorrow, maybe even some squirrel in the crockpot.- Ryan
