Sometimes, you can still find these in old barns. All the old timers used "rabbit boxes" to catch small game animals for the supper table. The design is simple, materials easy to find and they are fun to build.
This fellow lives in my yard. Possums are benificial animals to have around. They have a very low body temperature, making them extremely rabies resistant and deadly to ticks and fleas. Included in their diet are various undesirables such as small rodents and snakes. This one eats leftover cat food.
Mark it off my bucket list. This was a challenging fire lay to complement an unusual cooking method. A small bird was eaten this day and no one succumbed to salmonella.
