I guess they haven't heard the USFS plan to kill 500,000 Barred Owls to save the Spotted Owl.
It looks like a small single long spring trap; it was probably set for small varmints by some young person that hadn't had much training in setting traps. In the 60's it was a common practice for people looking to trap cats to hang a rabbit and set a trap or two under it. They caught all kinds of things that weren't wanted, it takes time and learning no to catch skunks and badgers or other unwanted catches. that's where having an older experienced trapper comes in handy to teach the younger people good techniques and practices.

Once upon a long time ago I hunted with a guide from his remote cabin. He had cats, chickens etc disappearing and set traps on the corral posts, and other likely roosting spots.

Yes back in the late 1800s and even a lot of the first half of the 1900s many set traps to catch birds of prey. Why? They eat chickens and chickens were their lively hood.

One time many many years ago I caught a horned owl in a #2 trap hole set for fox....it was a bit of a wresling match with a burlap bag but no cuts or scratches were received and the owl flew off !
Back then I used a piece of fur to cover the hole and the owl saw it and stepped into the trap !
