Live traps are devices or appliances that serve the purpose and are suitable for preventing wild animals from moving. They must ensure that wild animals remain unharmed to avoid pain. Examples include the box tra p or the rocker board trap.
In addition to live traps, so-called deadfall traps are also used in trapping.
When trapping with live traps, the hunter also usually uses short-barreled weapons, such as pistols or revolvers, to stretch the wild animals in a way that is appropriate for hunting after they have been taken out of the trap.
