Hi, I cant find ANY referances on the net for this trap. Its is basically a spring snare used to catch pheasents, it is also baited.
Here is a little drawing I drew up, the proportions are all out but you get the idea how it works.
The yellow thing on the green stick is the bait, a piece of corn on the cob is what I saw. Mr or Mrs pheasent comes along, starts pecking at the cob through the snare, which knocks the stick out causing the hazel pole to spring up snaring the pheasent. The sides of the trap are coverd in bush, weeds etc to try and only let the pheasent get to the bait one w
