    to improve this trap you could attach a string to the arrow so that the animal will be mostly stuck to the trap and if it misses the arrow wont get lost

    • @harald921
      @harald921 8 лет назад +4

      +Liam Teetzel Perhaps it could also hold the animal to the trap to a certain degree?

    • @lukejposadas
      @lukejposadas 8 лет назад +3

      +Liam Teetzel if it was set for a deer then you would need some very strong string and you would have to somehow add a barb to the tip so it doesn't just simply pull out. In the end though the shaft itself would probably break and the deer would get away. I see where you are coming from though and this idea would work for a lot of smaller game, in a survival situation you want to give yourself the highest chance of catching your food and ensuring your prey doesn't have a chance yo escape greatly increases your odds at survival!

    • @harald921
      @harald921 8 лет назад +2

      Luke Posadas I didn't imagine the arrow totally holding the deer, I meant that it would make the wound even worse when it tried to get away. (Sorry, I'm Swedish!)

    @Grepadu 8 лет назад +26

    When I set traps I usually put up signs to warn people who may happen by. It's my experience that most animals can't read so they'll still blunder into it. Besides, field dressing people is pretty messy. (Ugh)

      @ClanGunnBushcraft  8 лет назад +5

      +Grepadu
      lol Yes, very wise thing to do.
      One of the tribe's that still use these type death traps, hang stick triangles all around the perimeter of each trap, with the triangles pointing towards it. Very dangerous, especially when it's camouflaged.
      Thanks for your comment

    I’ve built a few bow traps back in 09’ using a fiberglass bow and green para-cord. If I used one of my wooden bows, it would surely take set and string follow. Purely for practice purposes though. I would never leave the trap armed.
    The bow trap is lethal, and i’m sure it’s worked before. I feel as though a strong leg twitch up snare for large game would be more effective and less time consuming too build, let alone the least dangerous to the person setting it.
    I personally would never use the bow trap, except in an enemy evasion situation (thinking worst case scenario here) where you would have to defend yourself against potential guerrilla attacks at base camp.
    I personally use Pauite deadfalls, baited twitch-up snares, and simple snares for trapping. I’ve had a high success rate with the Pauite deadfall, as it is the most sensitive. On my old channel, I have a video of a successful trapping using pine nuts as bait. The trap was set for an opossum or raccoon, with a 65 pound slab of granite stone. The next morning, a 3 inch long field mouse was crushed under the trap. I guess I baited with “X” type food in an area with primarily “Y” food, and for the sake of a change in diet or pure curiosity, the mouse took the bait. The Pauite traps are extremely sensitive. The only disadvantage is that they require a length of cordage which may not be readily available in a primitive situation. That’s when a figure four would work.
    Either way, thanks for posting this. I always tell people that 70% of your diet will come from trapping, 20% from foraging edible plants, and 10% from hunting. Taking into account your living off of the land with minimal tools and have to build your own bow or atlatl.

      The bow didn't have to be as powerful, I think 30lb draw would do the trick on the biggest of critters. Id never fired them sharpened shafts at a target before lol
      Wouldn't like to stand in front of one, but not very practical.

    Would it be advantageous to tie a tether string to the end of the arrow so that the quarry would pull the arrow out and increase the chance of hemorrhage? *just wondering...

    @rimrockoutdoors9524 8 лет назад

    Nice setup of a very effective trap. But to use only in the most dire but responsible situation. Ive setup this design many times to become familiar with it for a quick setup. Your trigger is great. I use a slip ring trigger myself but will give yours a try. My only dispute is just personal preference. I would never spend so much time on the bow in a survival situation which, by the way is the only time i would consider this setup. I have always found that a simple green sapling does the job nicely. I do however use a larger diameter limb for my bow. Typically 1 1/2" to 2". This setup must be flagged in all directions for human safety. Also, typically a very short term setup that if must be used for an extended period, it is very easy to have 2 or 3 bows made up while at camp to replace the existing limb if needed. Only a couple of minute to replace. Nice video and very informative. Keep up the good work. Subscribed.

      Cheers buddy, and muchly appreciated.
      Defantly! Only to be used in certain survival situations. I make this clear in my description and the warning at the end. Saying that, there's still a few tribe's using these type traps. Must be scary walking through their woods at night 😕
      Yes, you and I know that a simple sapling notched on each end would do the trick short tem, but for this demo, if I'd half arsed any part of it, I'd have far more comments of hatred than iv already had lol.
      No doubt my vid has been flagged by the 80 odd dislikers, but iv not heard oat about it. My channels in good standing with YT. These's no crime taking place and sufficient warnings. I'm just a geeza that likes old traps. Like yourself.. I practace to be familiar with them.
      I do think when it comes to trap making a little more effort is only going to increase the chances, but a little too less effort will result in failure.
      I only spent about an hour on this bow, and it's still drawing just over 40lb at 28". Not bad for an hours work four months ago.
      Personally, I'd rather put a bit more time in, and have the confidence that the trap will be efficient, work smoothly and hopefully kill the unfortunate critter quickly.
      Thanks for your comment, subbed you back and looking forward to your future videos.

    What an awesome trap, and well explained, too. Subbed.

    Cool. I wonder if it would make sense to use two arrows, one on each side of the pole that keeps the bow strung. Or if it would make sense to tie some string to the arrow(head) and to a tree, so the animal won't escape ant it is easy to find arrow if it misfires.

      Yeah, that's a good idea. I can think of a few advantages to tethering the arrow... Like you said... Could anchor the critter. Maybe even cause more damage by pulling it out, causing it to bleed out quicker. Plus if it does come out, the cord and arrow should hopefully point you in the right direction if it ran off?
      There'd only be one way to find out if the double arrow idea would work, but one arrows scary enough for me lol.
      Thanks for your comment and tips. Appreciated.

    How much pressure did it take for the trigger to be set? Also what to keep the animal from stepping over the rope?

    • @ClanGunnBushcraft
      @ClanGunnBushcraft  9 лет назад

      How much pressure to be set? Do you mean to be triggered?
      The sensitivity of the trap depends on how tight or slack the trip line cordage is. The tighter, the more sensitive it becomes. It has about a 1 inch pull at max.
      It's unnecessary, but you can make the trigger even lighter by rounding off the trigger stick (the tip of the stick were it meets the trigger board)
      Well, hopefully its the person setting the trap that will prevent the animal from stepping over the trip cord.
      I do say in the video... To set the trap at the correct hight of your game.
      There are no guarantees with traps, and the trick of trapping is multiple traps, which gives you multiple chances of trappin an animal. What do you think the chances are of all four of a Deers legs stepping over the cord? Especially when the cords at knee height. Set a trip wire at your knee height, and without looking at it, see if you can naturally step over it. You'll trip it every time!!!

      +Clan Gunn Bushcraft Thanks for the info. I'm a white tail hunting guide and from my experience with them I would think they would hop over the cable. Wonder if fishing line would work better?

      That's a great job, your a lucky man.
      Personally I would set this trap for wild boar (They defantly don't hop) and I only know the game of my own country, so I can't comment about white tails.
      Maybe there not suitable game for this trap? But then again, with multiple traps, and time, how long would it be until one doesn't hop over it?
      Good idea though... If you think cordage would deture them? Fishing line would defo be less viable. There's a second version of this trap, more simple. I'll eventually do a video on it, and I'll add the fishing line tip.
      Cheers

    Have you thought about making specialist bolts for this? Most game have vertical ribs so if you have the tips going parallel to them they'll be more likely to slide into the spaces between the ribs and hit the internal organs.

    If you made a different trigger system that didn't also require the string to push the heavy stick holding the string back, the arrow would literally have twice the force. You can prove this by shooting a bow and arrow with one arrow, then shoot again with two. It's not like the movies, the arrows only have half the speed and distance.

  • @PAGANONYMOUS
    @PAGANONYMOUS 8 лет назад

    I like this, simple yet deadly, you could add a hair trigger or use stronger bows by sticking a weight on the end of the trigger board (sear), which will rotate away when triggered, then all the trigger is holding is the sear/counterweight instead of the full force of the bow, similar to how a gun is triggered so you don't need to fight the full force of the bolt spring.
