Under the Schlagbaum, the hunter understands a part of the Schlagbaum trap, with which small predatory animals can be caught and immediately killed as part of trap hunting. It thus belongs to the killing traps.
If the predatory animal (primarily martens) pulls the bait attached to the trap away, it is struck down by a Schlagbaum/stick weighted down by weights. Due to animal protection laws, hunting with the Schlagbaum trap is at least prohibited in Germany.
