Gary said:Guys while figure 4 triggers are legitimate hunting techniques in survival situations I'd be very careful about using them outside an emergency situation. Like many techniques they are likely to be classed as poaching and inhuman and as such illegal - Spam I would check German law before trying one of there and ditto for anywhere else.
So technically you can be arrested for posession of stringRovingArcher said:Gary's advice is good advice. You may also want to check and see if making the trap, or any part of the trap, is legal or not.
Here in California, snares aren't just illegal to set, they are illegal to posses and any part of a snare is illegal. I learned this one the hard way, when the Game Warden approached when I was practicing making the trigger for a snare. I got off with a warning and have only continued my evil ways in the seclusion of my own home.
